Book Description
X Marks the Spot is written from the point of view of the users of mathematics. Since the beginning, mathematical concepts and techniques (such as arithmetic and geometry) were created as tools with a particular purpose like counting sheep and measuring land areas. Understanding those purposes leads to a greater understanding of why mathematics developed as it did. Later mathematical concepts came from a process of abstracting and generalizing earlier mathematics. This process of abstraction is very powerful, but often comes at the price of intuition and understanding. This book strives to give a guided tour of the development of various branches of mathematics (and what they’re used for) that will give the reader this intuitive understanding. Features Treats mathematical techniques as tools, and areas of mathematics as the result of abstracting and generalizing earlier mathematical tools Written in a relaxed conversational and occasionally humorous style making it easy to follow even when discussing esoterica. Unravels how mathematicians think, demystifying math and connecting it to the ways non-mathematicians think and connecting math to people’s lives Discusses how math education can be improved in order to prevent future generations from being turned off by math.

Book Description
Poetry. "`Who touches this book, touches a man,' said Whitman, and that is certainly the case with this astounding volume by Bill Zavatsky, who generously imparts his whole life and soul in these vital, hilarious, frank, eloquent, deeply satisfying works. Poet of the white working class, of jazz gigs and strip clubs, marriage, screw-ups and divorce, of obstinately teaching kids to write, chronicler of city life on the fly, bard of the splendors and miseries of the dating scene, Zavatsky risks all, holds nothing back. These remarkable poems have plenty of heart, muscle and mind: they refuse easy bondings, they test the limits of their own compassion. So much contemporary poetry seems tame, obscure or overly fussy compared to the robust humanity, independence and (finally, yes) wisdom of this inimitable voice" --Phillip Lopate.
