Omschrijving
Paul Lockhart reveals arithmetic not as the rote manipulation of numbers but as a set of ideas that exhibit the surprising behaviors usually reserved for higher branches of mathematics. In this entertaining survey, he explores the nature of counting and different number systems¿Western and non-Western¿and weighs the pluses and minuses of each.
Paul Lockhart teaches mathematics at Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, New York. He is the author of Arithmetic, Measurement, and the essay A Mathematician's Lament.
