Customer ReviewsI think its a great book that can help a lot with math.
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :26
I like that it tells the history of math and numbers. It tells a lot of cool math tricks that can really help people. It tells a lot about Pi like how to remember the first 8 decimal places. It also tells quick facts about math, like the boy in Japan who took Pi to 40,000 decimal places. It took him 15 hours. I really like the book, and I suggest that other kids read it.

The author is clearly struggling with the material
leading to significant mistakes throughout (e.g.
whole numbers are confused with rationals, the four
color "solution" is muddled, history is garbled--
not to mention B.C.E. and A.D. being juxtaposed on
the time line). Its a shame because a diligent
editor could have caught these in time for revision.
