"Out of the Labyrinth rejoices in the serious play of
mathematics and explains how to think about math as a truly common
pursuit... full of fun and full of the wisdom of a
lifetime of teaching..."-- Barry Mazur, Gerhard Gade University Professory, Harvard
University.
“In this sparkling narrative, mathematics is indeed set free.” —Michael Shermer, author of The Believing Brain
In classrooms around the world, Robert and Ellen Kaplan’s pioneering Math Circle program, begun at Harvard, has introduced students ages six to sixty to the pleasures of mathematics, exploring topics that range from Roman numerals to quantum mechanics.
In Out of the Labyrinth, the Kaplans reveal the secrets of their highly successful approach, which embraces the exhilarating joy of math’s “accessible mysteries.” Stocked with puzzles, colorful anecdotes, and insights from the authors’ own teaching experience, Out of the Labyrinth is both an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a treasure chest of mathematical discoveries. For any reader who has felt the excitement of mathematical discovery—or tried to convey it to someone else—this volume will be a delightful and valued companion.
