    <description><![CDATA[You thought the abacus was some sort of Chinese percussion instrument and that the guy in the market sign-languaging you number signals was challenging you to a game of rock, scissors, paper.  You didn't take math in China, and you're gonna keep getting outnumbered till you can keep up.  In this podcast, get back to remedial class and accomplish the feat of relearning all those math formulas you can't even remember in English.  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I loved the intro for this lesson. Simply brilliant :)
Just one lesson on Math, however interesting this one was, will never suffice to cover all the vocabulary engineers do need everyday...

For example today I was confronted with 2 numbers I wasn't sure how to read:
 1-3/4" I think I hear " yī yòu sì fēnzhī sān " but I'm not sure which yòu it is. 
is that "一又四分之三"
and -101°C "
摄氏度 负一百零一"Shěshìdù fù yībǎilíngyī "
Can anyone help ?]]></description>

-101°C should be read as

        <description><![CDATA[hi ooka, and partygo,

When reading temperatures, the 'minus' is expressed differently:

零下一百零一摄氏度
Língxià yībǎi líng yī Shèshì dù]]></description>
