Enjoyable Math History This book is a valuable resource for people, inclucing students, who want to know more about the people who created the math we know. Interesting reading.
Wonderful book of Math History!! This is a great book to use in the classroom and provides great information on the history of math concepts. I use it in my middle school classes and the kids love it!
Multicultural Mathematics I bought this book for my godson to help him with his study of mathematics. I can't say enough good things about it! I am a former math major and have read extensively in the history of math but this book had information that even I didn't know. It tells of mathematics as it has been done among all the major world civilizations: Europe, India, the Islamic countries, China, ancient America. As my godson's mother is Chinese, the sections on China will also help him appreciate his inheritance through her. (She's also teaching him Chinese.)
Fantastic resource for all math teachers. This book offers practical ways to enrich any curriculum with historical perspectives. Each "unit" is a one page introduction to a person or concept from the history of mathematics. Each unit includes questions/projects for students to try. This book makes it easy to introduce the history and humanistic side of mathematics to high school students. It would also make a great supplement to a college course geared towards pre-service teachers.
