I have received an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Well, this was delightful. I can't recall ever having called a book of mathematics "charming" before, but this certainly qualifies. Clear prose, helpful illustrations, and entertaining discussions on the mechanics, vocabulary, symbolism and philosophy of math. I had to pause in the middle of a paragraph and go find a pen and paper to work that multiplication problem myself. I was thrilled to come out right!

I would very much recommend this book to anyone struggling with math, and I'm so glad I had the math education I did growing up!
