"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. And the happy idea that there is a
mathematician lurking in most of us."---S. Ananthanarayanan, The
Statesman
