From the author of The Pentagram Integrals for Inscribed Polygons and Spherical CR Geometry and Dehn Surgery comes You Can Count on Monsters, a colorful picture book featuring 100 math-themed monsters. Professor of Mathematics Richard Schwartz's first children's book offers young children a unique math experience.
The book, recently featured on National Public Radio, is filled with colorful graphics of monsters that correspond with the numbers one to 100, presenting young children with a unique and exciting way to learn about concepts like prime numbers and factoring. The graphic of each monster is related to the number it represents — the number five monster, for example, is a five-sided star.
You Can Count on Monsters is the first book for very young children published by A K Peters, said Klaus Peters, a co-founder of the company and a former professor of mathematics at the University of Erlangen in Nuremberg, Germany. The company had previously published other books for middle-school children, but this book is intended for children six and up, Peters said.
