Inhaltsangabe

It is a rare mathematics book that can be called lucid, light-hearted, and profound, and yet these are the words that capture the spirit of The Heart of Mathematics. Using careful explanation, intriguing puzzles, and challenges, the authors invite readers to use open-ended thinking in discovering and constructing mathematical ideas. Throughout the book, the authors stress that mathematics is an analytical way of thinking, one that can be brought to bear on problem solving and effective thinking in any field of study.
