ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
The subject line is the title of a book by Keith Devlin, the NPR Math Guy. I
just finished reading his book. This last weekend he was interviewed about the
book. See <http://www.kqed.org/epArchive/R505201000> for the interview. You'll
need Real Player or the MS Media Player. This is a very worthwhile read on how
we and animals do mathematics, and why it is sometime so difficult. I'd
recommend it to anyone who might be considering a math exhibit.
