[Machine Translation] Japanese 15-year-olds' reading comprehension has plummeted according to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Learning Achievement Survey. Junior high and high school students do not read even one book a month, and adults do not read newspapers or paperbacks during travel time, but only look at their smartphones. The number of bookstores in town is declining. According to the author, this is nothing but "a decline in reading and education" throughout the nation. The author's goal is to "revive bookstores. A conclusion reached by a patriotic mathematician based on his own intuition and analysis.

日本人の15歳の読解力はOECD(経済協力開発機構)の学習到達度調査で急落。月に1冊も本を読まない中高生や、移動時間に新聞や文庫本を読まず、スマホしか見ない大人たち。町の本屋の数は減る一方。著者いわく、これらは国家全体に及ぶ「読書離れと教養の低下」にほかならない。めざすは「書店の復活」である。愛国の数学者が独自の直観と分析によって達した結論。
