"Wood eye!" type of joke) will entertain most readers, but moreso those who can relate to the mathematical background, as most of the witticisms demand math background for understanding. If you are losing your love for the field, this may just tickle your fancy!The methods in this book will not work for every . Dan Tran said One of the most enjoyable books I've read so far!. You will get sick of hearing this again and again, but here goes: I am currently a student in Mr. Stueben's computer science class.

This is one of the best 'methods' books ever written in the field of teaching elementary mathematics. This book is the legacy of twenty years of mathematics teaching. During this time the author searched for motivational techniques, mnemonics, insightful proofs, and serious applications of humour to aid his teaching
