Exploring Mathematics

'Wonderful list of topics, entertaining presentation, well-chosen problems - this is the way I want my grandchildren to engage with the beauty of mathematics. Too many students enter college with tools from calculus but no concept of how mathematicians think, and hardly any exposure to sets, logic, numbers, groups, or probability. How can we expect them to decide about continuing with mathematics, without a glimpse of the wonders ahead? A marvelous world lies at your students' doorstep, and Exploring Mathematics makes them players, not just observers, in that world. You'll want all your math majors, and perhaps your computer science majors as well, to have this experience.' Peter Winkler, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire
