Literacy is an active phenomenon. Its power lies not in a received ability to read and write, but rather in an individual’s capacity to put those skills to work in shaping the course of his or her own life.

”..on average, scientists read 23% of total work time. When the activities of speaking and writing are included as well, the scientists in the study spent on average of 58% of their total working time… scientists and engineers were found to consider reading as essential to their work and as their primary source of creative simulation.
Thus the dominant practice in science and engineering is not “hands-on” manipulation of the material world but rather a “minds-on” social and cognitive engagement with ideas, evidence and argument.
Reading for instance is an act of inquiry into meaning – an attempt to construct sense from multiple forms of representation used in science – words, symbols, mathematics, charts, graphs and visualizations..”

As a mathematician, literacy skills are very important. I think one of the most important of these skills is critical reading. It is very possible for us to spend a day or more on one page in a paper we are reading. When we read papers, we do so with pencil in hand and frequently pause in our reading to verify the mathematics and check our own understanding. Often this involves reading other sources and creating examples.

Brown, Collings, and Duguid. (1989)
Knowledge, we suggest, similarly indexes the situation in which it arises and is used. The embedding circumstances efficiently provide essential parts of its structure and meaning. So knowledge, which comes coded by and connected to the activity and environment in which it is developed, is spread across its component parts, some of which are in the mind and some in the world much as the final picture on a jigsaw is spread across its component pieces.
