This book takes a novel look at the topics of school mathematics–arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and calculus. In this stroll on the mathematical seashore we hope to find, quoting Newton, "…a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary…" This book assembles a collection of mathematical pebbles that are important as well as beautiful.
