"This was by far the best math book I've ever had." "I really like the Life Lessons. They elucidate the problem-solving process and provide a model for thinking that even hardened math-haters would find useful in other disciplines." "The book encourages the reader to actively participate with the text." "It is possibly the only textbook that I've ever enjoyed." "I would often go over sections with my friends outside this math class, and we would sometimes do the hands-on applications together." "One of the best math books, but mediocre as literature when compared to Dickens, Tolkien..." (Authors' response: We'll try to improve in the next edition).

The power and attractiveness of the subject of mathematics is often hidden from students who are in introductory courses. In this new, innovative overview textbook, the authors put special emphasis on the deep ideas of mathematics, and present the subject through lively and entertaining examples, anecdotes, challenges and illustrations, all of which are designed to excite the student's interest. The underlying ideas include topics from number theory, infinity, geometry, topology, probability and chaos theory. Throughout the text, 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.

Hardback. Condición: Good. In Burning Down the Barn, Walden's mixture of fiction and non-fiction blur the lines of a man's imagination and true reflections of his past, the two genres becoming more inseparable with time. Heartfelt and occasionally gritty, this book gives an insightful look at how memories of love, joy, and sadness, become the significant stories that shape our lives.
