This review is from: Agnesi to Zeno: Over 100 Vignettes from the History of Math (Paperback)
I bought this book for my godson to help him with his study of mathematics. I can't say enough good things about it! I am a former math major and have read extensively in the history of math but this book had information that even I didn't know. It tells of mathematics as it has been done among all the major world civilizations: Europe, India, the Islamic countries, China, ancient America. As my godson's mother is Chinese, the sections on China will also help him appreciate his inheritance through her. (She's also teaching him Chinese.)

This review is from: Agnesi to Zeno: Over 100 Vignettes from the History of Math (Paperback)
This book offers practical ways to enrich any curriculum with historical perspectives. Each "unit" is a one page introduction to a person or concept from the history of mathematics. Each unit includes questions/projects for students to try. This book makes it easy to introduce the history and humanistic side of mathematics to high school students. It would also make a great supplement to a college course geared towards pre-service teachers.
