Mathematical Footprints: Discovering Mathematics Everywhere

by Theoni Pappas

Overview

MATHEMATICAL FOOTPRINTS takes a creative look at the role mathematics has played since prehistoric times, and will play in the future, and uncovers mathematics where you least expect to find it from its many uses in medicine, the sciences, and its appearance in art to its patterns in nature and its central role in the development of computers. Pappas presents mathematical ideas in a readable non-threatening manner.

MATHEMATICAL FOOTPRINTS is another gem by the creator of THE MATHEMATICS CALENDAR and author of THE JOY OF MATHEMATICS.

"Pappas's books have been gold mines of mathematical entertainment...spreading inspirational and mathematical good cheer. " — Jon Scieszka, author of Math Curse
