Written with Dani Novak, this guide helps incoming students prepare for the college’s Math Placement Exam. For this reason, it contains many practical exercises. But this guide also hopes to stimulate an interest in math, to explore its beauty, and to demonstrate its relationship to the arts and humanities.

 

Accordingly, this guide also includes historical anecdotes, conceptual illustrations, and philosophical meditations. We believe this material makes math instruction less abstract and more holistic.
