Rediscovering Mathematics is aimed at a general audience and
addresses the question of how best to teach and study mathematics.
The book attempts to bring the exciting and dynamic world of
mathematics to a non-technical audience. With so much focus today
on how best to educate the new generation and make mathematics less
rote and more interactive, this book is an eye-opening experience
for many people who suffered with dull math teachers and curricula.
Rediscovering Mathematics is an eclectic collection of mathematical
topics and puzzles aimed at talented youngsters and inquisitive
adults who want to expand their view of mathematics. By focusing on
problem solving, and discouraging rote memorization, the book shows
how to learn and teach mathematics through investigation,
experimentation, and discovery. Rediscovering Mathematics is also
an excellent text for training math teachers at all levels. Topics
range in difficulty and cover a wide range of historical periods,
with some examples demonstrating how to uncover mathematics in
everyday life, including: number theory and its application to
secure communication over the Internet, the algebraic and
combinatorial work of a medieval mathematician Rabbi, and
applications of probability to sports, casinos, and gambling.
Rediscovering Mathematics provides a fresh view of mathematics for
those who already like the subject, and offers a second chance for
those who think they don't.
