Grade 5-10-- An excellent book in every way. The mathematical principles are enrichment-level concepts, clearly explained with text and illustration. Adler introduces ancient number theory principles and formulas on the most modern of inventions, the home computer; students will move ahead quickly with his carefully laid computer programming foundation. The illustrations are crucial to the concise text, with flow charts, tables, checker arrangements, and geometric figures. It's a simple book, and that's its beauty.
