“This book is an excellent source for supplementary reading in introductory courses to computer technology … . This book is also can be used by professors teaching a liberal arts mathematics course because it provides students a deeper understanding of how mathematics is used and how it continually develops. This book is a must-read for the high school teacher … . The author presents a myriad of examples of where mathematics is used in the everyday life of a teenager.” (Tom French, MAA Reviews, December 27, 2021)
