The Story of Math — and Why It Matters

From tally marks cut into bone to the women who calculated the way to the Moon. Along the way: the Nile, the pyramids, the House of Wisdom, deep-sea submersibles, operating rooms, suspension bridges, video games, GPS, and the ones and zeros hiding inside your television. It ends where it should — with your child, and the idea that they are already a mathematician.
