A brilliant research mathematician reveals math to be a creative art form on par with painting, poetry, and sculpture, and rejects the standard anxiety-producing teaching methods used in most schools today. Witty and accessible, Paul Lockhart's controversial approach will provoke spirited debate among educators and parents alike, altering the way we think about math forever.

The heart of math is discovery. Can you solve a problem on your own? Can you prove your answer true? What patterns can you find? What interesting problem can you invent?
I strongly agree.
