“The volumes are an interesting blend of resource and textbook. Taken as a whole, the primary audience for each volume is mathematics instructors who are looking for a resource for independent inquiry projects for students. ... An instructor who is interested in creating opportunities for secondary and early undergraduate students to engage in self-directed exploration and inquiry in mathematics will find the volumes of this set a strong addition to their professional resources.” (Duane Graysay, MAA Reviews, March 30, 2024)
