Reviews
""This stimulating, motivating and entertaining book tantalizes and charms the reader, teacher, and student alike with the beauty, the fun, the wonder, and the marvel of mathematics. ..This collection of fascinating tidbits...is an excellent collage. ...I strongly recommend this book to all math teachers, math students, and many, many others." -Science Books and Films "For a book that intends to convey the nature of pure mathematics, Posamentier's is far superior to many, which often involve long, difficult presentations on a single topic...Highly recommended." -Choice Current Reviews for Academic Libraries "This inspiring book...is intended for the enjoyment of adults or older students, but segments can be adapted by teachers for students as young as fifth grade...There is information here for everyone, from the experienced mathematics teacher to someone who is willing to be intrigued...I strongly recommend this book to administrators and to all teachers of mathematics regardless of the grade level." -Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School
