Has anyone got The World of Mathematics by John Hudson Tiner? We really enjoy this book. A chapter will cover a mathematical area in literature style. ie. Roman numerals, will talk about the history of Roman numerals and other forms. Very interesting then at the end of the chapter there is a page of questions to do if you wish. It is very relaxed and interesting. Even my maths resistant child enjoys this book. Tiner is a Christian so written from a Christian worldview.

Is this the book? Exploring the World of Mathematics -- it looks good. What ages would you say for enjoying this?

Thanks!

Mary,
It is indeed. All my children have enjoyed it, ds6, ds8 listen, but ds10 and dd12 have particularly enjoyed it.

Tiner has also written other books including one on the history of Chemistry and one on medicine. Also he has written various biographies.

He also has another series -the champions of mathematics, of science and of inventions.
