| An eclectic collection of books about mathematics, teaching, or life in general -- but mostly about math. Here are almost all of the books that I have discussed, quoted from, or linked to from my "Let's play math!" blog. On this page, books are listed according to the order they have been mentioned in my blog posts, beginning with the most recently mentioned books. Each book's description includes the title and date of the post in which it appeared. Elsewhere ("My all-time favorites" and "My wish list") the books appear more randomly, in whatever order I thought to enter them. With few exceptions, every book in the "Featured Books" section of my store is one that either my children, my students, or I myself have read, enjoyed, and learned from. The exceptions are books that I discovered in putting this store together and that sounded too good to leave out. (Most of those are currently in my library loan queue.) I hope you will find something that brings you delight. | ||
