A.K. Dewdney takes readers on a theoretical world tour to answer the question: Did humans make up mathematics, or did mathematics make up everything, including humans? After all, mathematical formulas seem to perfectly govern the cosmos, and the ur-mathematician Pythagoras himself believed that mathematics makes up reality. Dewdney has taken it upon himself to examine this fundamental question, beginning his journey in Miletus, the ancient home of Pythagoras and other deep thinkers. There, he meets the fictional Dr. Petros Pygonopolis, the first of his guides through space and time in search of mathematical meaning in history. His journey continues with stops in the Arabian desert (for insight into ancient Islamic astronomy with Professor al-Flayli), Venice (where Maria Canzoni reveals the mysteries of atomic theory), and England (home of the "engines of thought" in the form of Alan Turing's mind machines, as explained by Sir John Brainard). Dewdney's style is accessible, his knowledge is thorough, and his sense of humor is refreshing, if a bit geeky. A Mathematical Mystery Tour is not a difficult read, although the ideas it attempts to clarify are quite abstract. The fictional tour guides at each port of call are helpful in humanizing the intimidating subject matter.

This is a textbook for a liberals arts mathematics course. It covers material to give an appreciation for what mathematics is and how it is used. It provides a historical, philosophical, psychological, and conceptual approach to the subject. It covers the basics of number and number systems from the naturals to the complex, it also covers reasoning from propositional to symbolic, as well as fuzzy logic. The purpose is to provide a connected and purposeful overview of what mathematics is and how it has shaped civilization. We pose and consider many unanswered questions to motivate the material and the student.

These delightfully illustrated readers and the accompanying teacher/parent guide (sold separately) use the revolutionary educational theory of multiple intelligences to address such issues as dealing with bullies, listening, and boredom, as well as common academic stumbling blocks such as multiplication, reading comprehension, and spelling. Young readers will travel down Intelligence Avenue guided by Brilliant Brain and Magnificent Mind, in search of tools to help them grasp these difficult social and learning skills. Along the way, they will encounter the Smart Parts: Music Smart, Picture Smart, Body Smart, Number Smart, Self-Smart, Nature Smart, World Smart, and People Smart--personifications of the eight known multiple intelligences--who provide nuggets of knowledge to help overcome the problem at hand. An original rhyme at the beginning of each story introduces children to the coming adventure; teacher/parent guide provides lesson plans in tandem with each book.

Sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles in a story-driven, illustrated volume that invites readers to peek over the edge of the unknown. Most people think of mathematics as a set of useful tools designed to answer analytical questions, beginning with simple arithmetic and ending with advanced calculus. But, as Mage Merlin's Unsolved Mathematical Mysteries shows, mathematics is filled with intriguing mysteries that take us to the edge of the unknown. This richly illustrated, story-driven volume presents sixteen of today's greatest unsolved mathematical puzzles, all understandable by anyone with elementary math skills. These intriguing mysteries are presented to readers as puzzles that have time-traveled from Camelot, preserved in the notebook of Merlin, the wise magician in King Arthur's court. Our guide is Mage Maryam (named in honor of the brilliant young mathematician, the late Maryam Mirzakhani), a distant descendant of Merlin. Maryam introduces the mysteries--each of which is presented across two beautifully illustrated pages--and provides mathematical and historical context afterward. We find Merlin confronting mathematical puzzles involving tinker toys (a present for Camelot's princesses from the sorceress Morgana), cake-slicing at a festival, Lancelot's labyrinth, a vault for the Holy Grail, and more. Each mystery is a sword awaiting removal from its stone, capturing the beauty and power of mathematics.
