Description
Visual thinking in mathematics is explored through pictures and diagrams that help readers understand why certain mathematical statements are true. This collection of proofs without words is arranged by topic into five chapters, covering geometry and algebra, trigonometry, calculus, inequalities, integer sums, and sequences and series.
Teachers will find many of the proofs in this book suitable for classroom discussion and helping students to think visually in mathematics. The emphasis on visual clues makes it an ideal resource for stimulating mathematical thought.
