Book Overview

Whether you loved or loathed high-school math, Aftermath will change how you think about math--and life.

Forget rote math's dry formulas and abstract symbols. This book illuminates the fascinating math ideas that are essential to you and your loved ones--ideas totally ignored in school.

"In the age of AI and data, we badly need to rethink the way we teach math in U.S. schools. Dintersmith has joyfully illustrated how we can pull the subject out of irrelevance in the eyes of our students--a must read for teachers and parents alike."

--Steve Levitt, Co-Author, Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics
