Fun Math,
By K.E.H. "leftnwrite08" (USA, World) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For All Practical Purposes (Paper): Mathematical Literacy in Today's World (paperback version) (Comap, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications) (Paperback)
We used this in my college Math course, and it actually had me pretty addicted to math for a while! We only used selected chapters, but those we used were easy to navigate, even somewhat fun to read, and the math really was practical (ex.-- fair division problems, helping you solve everything from the division of your estate to how to fairly divide a piece of pie!).

I saw URI using this book for a course taught there. The book wasn't what I expected when I got it. The topics are ok, but I don't like the style of the book. The book is just verbose in my opinion. However, some people like that kind of style in a book. If you like a wordy book in mathematics then I highly recommend this book to you.

The order stated that they shipped my book the next day but I still have yet to receive the book a month later. Unfortunately this is for my math competition preparation in less than a month from now.
