Review

"Since the first edition of How to Teach Mathematics the increasing maturity of both traditionalist and reform movements has given Krantz more insights into the teaching of mathematics. The book is intended primarily for the graduate student or novice instructor; however, the book is also valuable for others. Post-secondary instructors ... Mathematics department heads ... Teaching Development Centers ... university administrators. In the appendices twelve other mathematics teachers comment in some way on Krantz's text and give some insight into other approaches to teaching. This book is a must read for instructors preparing their courses for next semester." ---- MAA Online

"An original contribution to the educational literature on teaching mathematics at the post-secondary level. The book itself is an explicit proof of the author's claim `teaching can be rewarding, useful, and fun'." ---- Zentralblatt MATH

"Unlike secondary school teachers, college and university teachers usually have no preliminary theoretical background in the teaching of mathematics. [This book] is written in a lively and humorous style, even though the points discussed are entirely serious and sensible. The author succeeds in elucidating the fine points of excellent teaching and offers a lot of important practical advice. The book is strongly recommended to everybody who teaches mathematics." ---- European Mathematical Society Newsletter
