Description
“The book is a love song and a philosophical manifesto about the pleasures and frustrations,
but mainly the pleasures, of doing math.――Steven Strogatz, New York Times contributor
and author of The Joy of X (forthcoming)“No matter what mathematical education you had,
or didn't have, you will be delighted by this enticing book if you take up Paul Lockhart's invitation to
engage in the mathematical sensibility that radiates from its pages, and try your own hand―not
only at answering, but even more fruitfully, at formulating questions as you explore the world of
mathematics.――Barry Mazur, author of Imagining Numbers (Particularly the Square Root
of Minus Fifteen)“Lockhart presents math as an art and argues that just as there is no
systematic way to create beautiful and meaningful art, there is also no method for producing
beautiful and meaningful mathematical arguments. Doing mathematics, according to Lockhart, is
to make a discovery (by, say, physical objects like string or rubber bands) and then to explain it in
the simplest and most elegant way possible. Using illustrations of various shapes and
mathematical formulas, he leads readers through several problems step by step, encouraging
them to collaborate with others in working through the problem. Measuring, for example, is relative
because it involves comparing the object being measured to another object. Measurement is only
one of the many rivers in the 'vast, ever-expanding jungle' of mathematics, which for Lockhart
satisfies our need to find patterns as well as our curiosity...His playful and ingenious approach not
only takes the fear out of math but also elegantly illustrates that universe and the joy he finds in
it.――Publishers Weekly“Lockhart is famous in the math world for a 2002 essay about the
state of mathematics teaching. He described it as akin to teaching music by forcing children to
transcribe notation without ever touching an instrument or singing. Measurement is his attempt to
change the equation: a conversational book about mathematics as an art that invites the reader to
join in the fun. Sounding every bit the teacher whose love for his subject is infectious, he guides us
through exercises in geometry and calculus--giving information and hints along the way while
always encouraging us to ask, and answer, 'Why?' Lockhart does not try to make math seem
easy; instead he wants his readers to understand that the difficulty brings rewards.――Evelyn
Lamb, Scientific American“This invitation to tackle mathematical questions is infused with
the joys of the rarefied reality of maths. Paul Lockhart largely avoids complex formulae and the
wilder shores of jargon, opting instead for simple geometric drawings, lucid instructions and honest
warnings about the hurdles. Covering size, shape, space and time, Lockhart, a maths teacher,

gets through scores of problems,
