DESCRIPTION:A common strategy of scientific popularizers (Laplace\, Arago\
 , Flammarion\, to name a few) has been to express the content of the scien
 ces without relying on mathematics. Several questions can be raised regard
 ing this:- Why is mathematics considered the main hindrance to the diffusi
 on of scientific knowledge? - How effective has this strategy proven to be
 ? - Does increasing mathematics literacy or numeracy impact this strategy?
  - How is mathematics itself popularized?
