This book is great. It has a way of illustrating mathematical concepts and making them easier to understand. They also focus on important people in the field of mathematics. However, while in general I do like this book, it is so wordy and packed full of information that kids looking for help might not pick it up, as it appears to be only for those with advanced mathematical skills. It’s not, but when page flipping, that is the first impression of the book because of its wordiness. While overall a great book full of great concepts and practical lessons, I fell it may sit on the shelf awaiting the perfect readers. ( )
