I recently did a talk for a local group about math-related books I recommend for all age levels, and I made a long list of such books.<\/p>\n
I decided to make this list a page on my website, because these weren’t the first people to ask me about this. And I’ll add to the list when I encounter more mathy titles that I love. I’ve already added a few after doing the talk.<\/p>\n
Philosophy: Math at home should be nothing but FUN. Math in books should be nothing but FUN.
\nI look for exploring, discovery, and playfulness.<\/p>\n
I haven’t reviewed all the books, but I’ll put a link to the review for those I have.<\/p>\n
