Math for English Majors: A Human Take on the Universal Language Hardcover – September 3, 2024

The insights from Ben are outstanding. He helped me understand what non-majors find so daunting about my beautiful discipline.

I really like this book. It’s filled with pleasurable “aha moments” where something you know (or knew) in math suddenly becomes clear and interesting. This book will be enjoyed and valued by a wide range of readers with a wide range of math backgrounds. But I’ll single out a very specific group. If you are a parent and want to help your elementary school child with math homework, this book will be will be enormously helpful to you, while also being a pleasure to read. It will provide you with mathematical insights and connections that will make it much easier for you to understand precisely what your child is learning (or should be learning) math. The book will make doing math with your child much more rewarding and pleasurable experience. And even if you are not the parent of an elementary school child, you will find the book to be a joy to read. Ben is a great writer, and he is also a great son.

Sophomoric style of writing, poorly organized, couldn't get further than a dozen pages.
