Great Book!,
By m. luisa martinez (Peaks Island, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Binary numbers (Young math books)
I discovered this book quite by accident while I was a teaching intern. It knocked me, a middle-aged math-phobe, right off my feet, as suddenly I could understand not only binary numbers, but their relationship to electronic technology. Watson presents the information slowly and sequentially, from lengths of string to Cuisenaire rods, with exercises that manifest the principles as you go along, 'til--lo and behold!--you're writing messages in binary code. While this book is intended for an elementary audience, the only real way you can tell that is from the illustrator's style. The language of the book is simple, direct, and useful at any level. I hope some smart publisher picks this book up and reissues it--it's great.

It took me 10 minutes to read this fun book! I got the information about binary numbers right away and it was fun and easy. If you want the basic data about binaries look no further this book works! Im 33 years old and wanting to to learn computer programming, try this book you wont loose.
