Mathematical Circles: Russian Experience (Mathematical World, Vol. 7)
"Fomin's Mathematical Circles is a strikingly elegant, practical tool for enabling American high-school teachers and math coaches to replicate the Russian mathematical circle here." ---- Dianne Butkus, Saint Ignatius Loyola School"There is much to find, learn, and enjoy in this work for both students and teachers ... well-prepared mathematical amateurs will also be delighted ... throughout, the presentation and tone are charmingly appealing and appropriately "light", even when more difficult topics are under discussion ... a very worthwhile book; it most definitely belongs in every school and personal library." ----Mathematical Reviews"Could be considered among many other recreational mathematics books as one source of interesting problems to supplement instruction and encourage an appreciation for the beauty of mathematics." ---- Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School
