Numbers [link]Publisher  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Numbers are ubiquitary, it is expected we know them. Some hate, others love them. Numbers are involved in everyday practices like shopping, measuring length, counting unread emails. Numbers, too, figure in management, governance, in science, engineering, medicine and many other private and public sector fields that employ technoscience. How comes numbers are so widespread? Are all these numbers similar enough, in kind, for us to treat them similarly? Sociology, Anthropology, History, Human Geography as well as Science and Technology Studies have shown that numbers are employed and produced in very different ways – and that neither mathematics not data science occupy an epistemically privileged position for understanding numbers.
