Critics Review
“Math Geek may be the first math book ever to explicitly welcome ‘geeks’ and ‘nerds.’ Rosen makes [math] enticing to beginners by writing in a relaxed conversational style, assuming little math knowledge, and relating the math to pop culture and ordinary events. [Readers] will be on their way to becoming the best kind of geek or nerd, the kind that our society needs.” –The Los Angeles Review of Books “Rosen provides a unique and interesting look at the beauty of mathematics without asking readers to delve into intimidating, mathematics-laden formulas.” –National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
