Recenzii

Beautiful...Alex and Edmund have smuggled in some of the best mathematical stories into this visual feast. By engaging the reader in their visual journey the authors show how mathematics isn't a spectator sport. Maths comes alive when you make it yourself.
This is by far the most entertaining maths book I've seen in a long time. Want to show someone what maths is about? Tell them to forget everything they've read. Then, hand them this book and a box of 100 crayons, and leave them alone for an hour. There's no way you'll get your copy back. Amazing!
My six-year-old and I are both loving the mathy new coloring book Visions of the Universe
Delightful, informative, and fun!
I love this new math coloring book! I want the Menger slice as a Christmas ornament.
