Why is 2 times 3 equal to 3 times 2? One may think this is an axiom, but it has a proof, and a beautiful one at that. Elementary mathematics is as deep and as beautiful as higher mathematics. It includes some of the most important mathematical discoveries ever, for example the concept of the number, and the place-value method of representing numbers. We are so accustomed to this method, that we forget how clever and beautiful it is -- resultin...

Throughout the volume, the author is delighted to develop his marvelous experience that elementary mathematics has a lot of depth and beauty. This text reinforces the importance if in-depth understanding of mathematics. I would recommend this text to Mathematics Educators. It provides a very good look into elementary education in Israel, while at the same time reinforcing effective mathematics education that could be taught anywhere."MAA Revie...

Circularity' is the story of a Janus-faced conceptual structure, that on the one hand led to deep scientific discoveries, and on the other hand is used to trick the mind into believing the impossible. Alongside mathematical revolutions that eventually led to the invention of the computer, the book describes ancient paradoxes that arise from circular thinking. Another aspect of circularity, its ability to entertain, leads to a surprising insigh...
