This review is from: The Wonderful World of Mathematics (Hardcover)
Every parent ought buy this book for their 7-12 year old child. It is a very, very good introduction to more elementary mathematics. I still have mine from childhood and use parts of it in my Philosophy Courses (at a rather selective university) to help explain what my above-average college students never understood--were never taught/never asked TO THINK about--in grammar school or high school. Of course, would there were similar (but deeper) books for the teen-aged set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable, September 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wonderful World of Mathematics (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for teachers who want to draw the connections between History and Mathematics for their students. By learning Mathematics in the same way human cultures acquired the skills, students develop appreciation for its power. Both History and Mathematics gain greater relevance in the students' minds when the topics are explored together.

Hogben's primacy in explaining the History of Mathematics has not been rivaled since his book's printing in 1955. It would be helpful if was republished.

We currently use it in the classroom, and we could use more copies.
