Topic: publication of psychology and mathematics text.

The topic of the text asks a question, why does every science rely on mathematics and also asks if there is any psychological science that does not have any relation to mathematics. The writer has introduced the readers to what the text will focus on. Through the topic readers are able to set and establish their thoughts in one area, psychology and mathematics and their relationship to one another. While writing any text, meant to be read and used by students or the public in general, it is very vital to include a topic which would enable the readers to know what to expect in the text. Topics can be either statements or questions such as in this case (Gross, 1993).

The chapter on the relationship between mathematics and other sciences is satisfactory and would be okay for publishing. Several factors have lead to the compromise made to allow the chapter to be published.

The author of the text has discussed in length what the question means and has done a great and satisfactory job, describing and explaining what the question asks. The writer has introduced from the beginning, what science is, through the historical information given on what science was like in the past and illustrating what each scientist stood for. Kant, Descartes among other scientist have been used to explain the history of science and its philosophical aspect. Through the study of the history and evolution of sciences, the writer has been able to bring about the original relation of sciences in the past and how step by step they have grown closer in relationship. Through this historical approach in the beginning the reader is able to understand how it all began hence will be able to follow and relate the content as it is discussed.

The write has been able to separate each science from the other and has been able to categorise and give the types of sciences. He has been able to group the sciences to natural, social and physical sciences and has related and represented each science with its pioneer. Through categorization and comparison the content is easier to understand and to read. One can be able to see the relationship of each group of science and learn more about each science. The writer goes ahead to explain each group of science and its relationship to mathematics. The writer after allowing the reader to know about the various types of sciences has now taken the next step; to answering the original question and theme of the topic; the relationship between mathematics and sciences, for example, physics and chemistry.

After explaining what mathematics is, its relationship to other sciences, the writer now takes the next step, which is to describe and explain what psychology is, what are its components and its role in human lives. Psychology tries to study human behaviour and helps people understand one another. After explaining about psychology the author now answers the second question the relationship between psychology and mathematics. He explains how mathematics explains other sciences and its involvement to psychology.

Besides the content of the text and its relevance to the topic given, the organization and structure of the text itself dictates if it is suitable for publishing and if it will be easy for the intended audience to read and understand the file. The organization and consistency and flow of the paragraph, the structure of the body; for a good body, the writer must begin with an introduction that may constitute a few words, in the chapter about psychology and mathematics, the author has introduced and defined his/ her intentions and aim of the chapter, the next bit is the body itself that contains all the information that the topic and introduction has introduced. The body of the chapter in discussion has sophisticated information and explanations that expound on the topic. The paragraphs have been properly arranged and organised with information flowing step by step (Robb, 2001). The paragraphs contain topic sentences, and illustrations that explain the topic sentence. The author has concluded the chapter with a summary that provides an overview of what the whole chapter has discussed. This organization and structure is usually found suitable for readers and easy to understand. The author has also used appropriate language and grammar sentences have been constructed properly and use of simple and understandable vocabulary that is easy to read and understand.

The relevance of the chapter on psychology and mathematics is to show the role of sciences in the human life, which the chapter strongly explains when it discusses the role of science in human life. The other role is to give the readers information on the various sciences that are present, where they originated from and the various scientists that the author has included. The writer has chosen to get more information from other sources mostly books written by other people and they have properly cited their work and referenced it at the end so as to give the readers a chance to revisit those books and enable them acquire more knowledge.

The book is suitable for publication and would be quite satisfactory and qualified for the audience it is intended for.
