Book excerpt: The Companion Guide to The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition has been created as a teaching tool, not only for the teacher and the student, but also for those students who are potential teachers. Its major purpose is to enhance the value of The Mathematical Experience, Study Edition as a textbook for teachers and to provide content and method for prospective teachers. Thus, unlike instructional guides that are available to the adopting teacher only, this Companion is available to the student or the teacher who wants independently to develop further skills in teaching mathematics. An additional value is that it provides suggested topics to explore that are not in the text but that coordinate beautifully to the text. The inclusion of these topics makes The Companion Guide a flexible teaching tool, adaptable to a variety of courses and useable with many individual selections of other course materials.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 1983 National Book Award! "...a perfectly marvelous book about the Queen of Sciences, from which one will get a real feeling for what mathematicians do and who they are. The exposition is clear and full of wit and humor..." - The New Yorker (1983 National Book Award edition) Mathematics has been a human activity for thousands of years. Yet only a few people from the vast population of users are professional mathematicians, who create, teach, foster, and apply it in a variety of situations. The authors of this book believe that it should be possible for these professional mathematicians to explain to non-professionals what they do, what they say they are doing, and why the world should support them at it. They also believe that mathematics should be taught to non-mathematics majors in such a way as to instill an appreciation of the power and beauty of mathematics. Many people from around the world have told the authors that they have done precisely that with the first edition and they have encouraged publication of this revised edition complete with exercises for helping students to demonstrate their understanding. This edition of the book should find a new generation of general readers and students who would like to know what mathematics is all about. It will prove invaluable as a course text for a general mathematics appreciation course, one in which the student can combine an appreciation for the esthetics with some satisfying and revealing applications. The text is ideal for 1) a GE course for Liberal Arts students 2) a Capstone course for perspective teachers 3) a writing course for mathematics teachers. A wealth of customizable online course materials for the book can be obtained from Elena Anne Marchisotto ([email protected]) upon request.
