"In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us that math isn't confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do--the whole world is shot through with it. Math allows us to see the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It's a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to...

One of the greatest achievements of the human mind is calculus, deserving a place in the pantheon of monumental human accomplishments. Calculus, separately invented by Newton and Leibniz, is one of the most fruitful strategies ever devised for analyzing the world. Yet for all its computational power, calculus is the exploration of just two ideas--the derivative and the integral--both of which arise from a commonsense analysis of motion. For those...

"Professor H.S. Wall wrote Creative Mathematics with the intention of leading students to develop their mathematical abilities, helping them learn the art of mathematics, and teaching them to create mathematical ideas. Creative Mathematics, according to Wall, "is not a compendium of mathematical facts and inventions to be read over as a connoisseur of art looks over paintings. It is, instead, a sketchbook in which readers try their hands at mathematical...
