Review of "Strength in Numbers: Discovering the Joy and Power of Mathematics in Everyday Life," by Sherman Stein. Reviewed by Lawrence S. Braden. American Scientist, September-October 1997, pages 488-489.
According to the review, this book provides "a delightful, refreshing new look at old mathematics." The book discusses the field of mathematics itself, with examples ranging from elementary arithmetic to calculus, and also presents a short history of mathematics education reform in the United States.
