The Joy of Thinking: The Beauty and Power of Classical Mathematical Ideas
The Joy of Thinking is a course about fun, aesthetics,
and mystery—about great mathematical ideas that arise from puzzles,
observations of everyday life, and habits of curiosity and effective
thinking. It is as much about learning to think abstractly as it is
about what we traditionally think of as mathematics.
Mathematics from the Visual World
Mathematics from the Visual World takes Plato's dictum to heart and introduces you to the
terms, concepts, and astonishing power of geometry. In 24 richly illustrated lectures, you learn that geometry is
everywhere. It is the key to scientific disciplines from cosmology to
chemistry. It is central to art and architecture. It provides deep
insights into algebra, calculus, and other mathematical fields. And it
is stunning to contemplate in its beauty.is a course about fun,
