About this product

Product Information

This book is a profound meditation on what it means to be human. An award-winning mathematician and educator reveals how math meets a wide range of basic human desires and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing, to encourage those disenchanted by past math experiences and cast an inclusive vision of what math should be. The reflections of his friend, who discovered a passion for math in prison, show how this pursuit can-and-must-be open to all. Book jacket.

"Beautifully written, contains well-chosen and interesting mathematical puzzles, and offers an important viewpoint for mathematicians to consider. . . . The book is aimed at a broader audience and is also a call to being more inclusive, to recognising that there are many paths to success."--Pamela Gorkin, Mathematical Intelligencer "Inspiring."--Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed "A good book is an entertaining read. A great book holds up a mirror that allows us to more clearly see ourselves and the world we live in. Francis Su''s Mathematics for Human Flourishing is both a good book and a great book."-- MAA Reviews " Mathematics for Human Flourishing is an idea and book that has deep relevance for our time. . . . For anyone who doubts the importance of these ideas, not only for school achievement but for humanity, this book is a must read."-- American Mathematical Monthly "[An] inspirational book. . . . This is a book for everyone who wants to know where and how mathematics can fit into their lives."--Paul J. Campbell, Mathematics Magazine "This is a profound book aimed at a wide audience to begin a conversation on how to teach and engage with math in a new way."--Sharon Hashimoto, International Examiner "Su''s work is an example of a faithful servant working for the common good. He presents a vision of mathematics as a means by which fullness might be felt by anyone."--Thomas J Clark, International Journal of Christianity & Education Awarded Book of the Year by Aleo Review Winner of the Euler Book Prize, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America Selected for the 2021 Phi Beta Kappa Award for Science Short List "The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them."--Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine "Please read this beautiful, compelling, galvanizing book if you care about mathematics, social justice, or humanity, which I hope is everyone."--Eugenia Cheng, author of The Art of Logic in an Illogical World "The world desperately needs this allembracing and deeply human perspective on what mathematics is and why it matters. The key qualities developed by mathematical thinking are characteristics that we should all value and long for."--Eddie Woo, author of It''s a Numberful World "I was mesmerized by this unusual, sublime book. Original insights and engaging puzzles made me feel young again, discovering a way to Zen and the Art of Mathematics."--Nalini Joshi, University of Sydney "Francis Su believes that math can make us better humans--and he leads by example. Every page is a work of generosity and compassion. Plus, the puzzles will haunt you for weeks."--Ben Orlin, author of Math with Bad Drawings "A celebration of mathematics and the human spirit. Learning mathematics enriches our lives, and Su wants everyone to have a seat at the banquet."--Edward Scheinerman, author ofv The Mathematics Lover''s Companion "A delightful mixture of philosophy, mathematical illustrations, and compassion."--John Cook, Singular Value Consulting "Francis Su has written a lyrical meditation on the beauty of mathematics and how it connects to our common humanity."--John Urschel, author of Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football "Su elegantly uncovers the beauty and power of mathematics as they relate to our desires to be loved, trusted, and accepted. A powerful narrative of mathematical beauty, this book is the antidote for a mathematically fixed mindset."--Talithia Williams, author of Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics "This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time. Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart."--James Tanton, Global Math Project "The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love.
