"This book offers an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a delight for anyone interested in sharing the pleasures of mathematics."--Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin
"Out of the Labyrinth will delight readers with its engaging exploration of mathematics. It will allow students, parents, teachers, and others to wrestle with the accessible mysteries of math- and discover their inner math genius."--Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin
"Out of the Labyrinth rejoices in the serious play of mathematics and explains how to think about math as a truely common pursuit... This beautiful book- full of fun and full of the wisdom of a lifetime of teaching-is so deftly done that by the time the Kaplans tell us that "math is out other native
language," we believe them utterly."-- Barry Mazur, Gerhard Gade University Professory, Harvard University.
"I found the book to be a provocative guide to the beauty and glory of mathematics with many excellent suggestions on how to communicate this to others, written by two masters of the art. I enjoyed the sections the most where I agreed with them the least. It challenged every prejudice I had
developed about the subject."--Benedict Gross, Leverett Professor of Mathematics and Dean of Harvard College

Reseña del editor

Who hasn't feared the math Minotaur in its labyrinth of abstractions? Now, inOut of the Labyrinth, Robert and Ellen Kaplan--the founders of The Math Circle, the popular learning program begun at Harvard in 1994--reveal the secrets behind their highly successful approach, leading readers out of the labyrinth and into the joyous embrace of mathematics. Written with the same wit and clarity that made Robert Kaplan'sThe Nothing That Is an international bestseller, Out of the Labyrinth offers an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a delight for anyone interested in sharing the pleasures of mathematics. The Kaplans argue that math should be taught as the highest form of intellectual play, an endeavor to be explored and enjoyed by children (or adults) of any age. Enhanced throughout with puzzles, practical equations, and colorful anecdotes from their own classrooms,Out of the Labyrinth will allow students, parents, teachers, and others to wrestle with the accessible mysteries of math--and discover their inner math genius.
