About the Author
Lynda's career as a mathematics educator began in Scarborough, ON, 33 years ago. Since then, her roles have been many: K?12 teacher, consultant, researcher, professor, columnist, textbook author, and collaborator on The Prime Radicals (a live-action children's television program also based on her Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper columns). The common denominator? Lynda's mission to dispel the myth that math is the bad guy!
Jane Kurisu is an illustrator whose books include The Sleepover Book and The Jumbo Book of Gardening. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Review
... any young reader looking to have some fun with what can sometimes be a dry subject will enjoy the lighthearted tone and look of Mathemagic!―Quill & Quire
The simple cartoon illustrations add interest and clarify how the tricks are accomplished. An appropriate choice where magic books are in demand.―School Library Journal
Kurisu's illustrations emphasize the performance side of mathemagic, showing potential performers how to successfully set up or follow through with specific tricks. Colgan makes math cool, and that speaks for itself.―Kirkus Reviews
