Reviews"Outstanding. . . . [A] rich resource for both the college professor and the high school (or middle school) teacher who is on the lookout for practical applications of mathematics or science."---Tom French, MAA Reviews "The first chapter of the book, which speaks about the motivation and the value of math, makes a point that the kind of people who do math may take us by surprise.
