Review:

"Once in a while there comes a truly exceptional book and, in my opinion, this is one of them. I am a mathematician who taught both high school and college before becoming a librarian and I can see what a wonderful approach this book has to the much maligned subject of Mathematics. I have never seen the relevance of Mathematics explained this well. Reading it has been a great pleasure.

I now know how I-pods work! And how much wood a woodchuck can chuck!"
--Nancy F. Carter, University Libraries, University of Colorado, Boulder, April 2006
