Read a math-related book at least 50 pages in length, and write a ½-1 page report on the book answering the questions below. Note: If your book is too long, you may either read the first 50 pages, or skim through the book to get the main points. Just indicate what you did on question #1 in your report (i. e., did you read the entire book, read the first 50 pages or skimmed through the book?). 1) Title, author, date of publication and number of pages of the book that you read 2) How and/or why did you select the book that you read? 3) Write a summary of the book (main characters, plot, climax, main idea(s), setting, etc.) 4) Describe 2-3 mathematical concepts that you learned. If you learned more than three, you can choose the ones that either interested you or amazed you the most. If you did not learn any new concepts, describe some that you already knew and indicate so. 5) What is your opinion about the book? 6) To whom, if anybody, would you recommend the book (e. g., your other classmates, children under 10, people who love/hate math, etc.)? You may write your report in either essay form or outline form where you write the answer below the question. Here are some book suggestions: The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus Enzensberger The Man Who Counted: A Collection of Mathematical Adventures by Malba Tahan Fractals, Googols, and Other Mathematical Tales by Theoni Pappas Mathematicians Are People, Too: Stories from the Lives of Great Mathematicians by Dale Seymour Publications Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott
