Why Chosen
This is one of my favorite books. The author, mathematician Francis Su, provides a passionate essay for how mathematics can enrich the human experience. This is the sort of book that will inspire, challenge, entertain, and even make you feel warm and fuzzy…about math! It taught me that I am a mathematics explorer and that I have a responsibility to share the joy of my discoveries!
