Whether you loved or loathed high-school math, Aftermath will change how you think about math—and life.
Forget rote math’s dry formulas and abstract symbols. This book illuminates the fascinating math ideas that are essential to you and your loved ones—ideas totally ignored in school.
“In the age of AI and data, we badly need to rethink the way we teach math in U.S. schools. Dintersmith has joyfully illustrated how we can pull the subject out of irrelevance in the eyes of our students—a must read for teachers and parents alike.”
—Steve Levitt, Co-Author, Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics

His books (including What School Could Be), films (including Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice), and philanthropic efforts (including the non-profit WhatSchoolCouldBe.org) call for education priorities that help people capitalize on -rather than be victimized by – the tsunami of innovation reshaping society.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
