About the Book

“In this sparkling narrative, mathematics is indeed set free.” —Michael Shermer, author of The Believing Brain

In classrooms around the world, Robert and Ellen Kaplan’s pioneering Math Circle program, begun at Harvard, has introduced students ages six to sixty to the pleasures of mathematics, exploring topics that range from Roman numerals to quantum mechanics.
In Out of the Labyrinth, the Kaplans reveal the secrets of their highly successful approach, which embraces the exhilarating joy of math’s “accessible mysteries.” Stocked with puzzles, colorful anecdotes, and insights from the authors’ own teaching experience, Out of the Labyrinth is both an engaging and practical guide for parents and educators, and a treasure chest of mathematical discoveries. For any reader who has felt the excitement of mathematical discovery—or tried to convey it to someone else—this volume will be a delightful and valued companion.



About the Author :
Robert and Ellen Kaplan have taught subjects ranging from Sanskrit through mathematics to philosophy and history, and founded the Math Circle in 1994. Robert Kaplan is the author of the bestselling The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero. Ellen is coauthor, with their son Michael, of Chances Are . . . and Bozo Sapiens. Together, Robert and Ellen are the authors of The Art of the Infinite. Their website is www.themathcircle.org.

Review :
In this sparkling narrative, mathematics is indeed set free. [The Kaplans'] literate and passionate argument for 'setting mathematics free' can do more for American education than any number of government reports. No thinking teacher of mathematics can fail to be inspired by the tales of children creating mathematics related in Out of the Labyrinth. The Kaplans have written a profoundly important book that should be read by all those concerned with mathematics and the state of mathematics education
