Hello all!

 

I've got a teacher request for more math fiction and math non-fiction
(but not textbook-type stuff).  I've got a few of the ones from the
CDE's Math and Science Literature list
(http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/sc/ll/).  These include Flatland, Proof, Once
Upon a Number, etc.  I've got a few, (and I just got The Number Devil),
but can you recommend any other math fiction or non-fiction book at the
high school/adult level that students might enjoy?  Even if the books
are on the CDE list, I'd like to read any and all recommendations.

 

Thank you,

"This is the age of the open-source encyclopedia.  Words like 'research'
and 'corroborated' now mean whatever the majority says they mean.
Personally, I'm voting for 'research' to mean 'speculation' and
'corroborated' to mean 'a zesty sour cream-based dip.'"
