Description

Anyone who has ever suffered through a tough math class has probably wondered, "When am I going to use this stuff?" If you are confused by how real life problems can be helped by pi, cosine, and the exact time two speeding trains will meet, then this book is for you. "Humble Pi" challenges the assumptions that lie at the heart of math education. Michael K. Smith says he is not "anti-math," but he believes that there are a number of untested myths in most discussions about the role of mathematics in education.
