Abstract
The rank size rule is an empirical law which describes part of the size distributions of towns within individual countries and regions. It is of particular interest to geographers; and it is one of many applications of mathematics which are now being introduced into school science and mathematics courses. Since a collection of topics does not necessarily add up to a satisfactory mathematics course, it is useful to consider their integration into more general courses. The rank size rule could be taught as part of a course in descriptive statistics and linked to a more general discussion of frequency distributions.
