• Chronology of major mathematicians at chapter ends gives a quick overview of important events and people.

• Problems are taken from original sources enabling readers to understand how mathematicians in various times and places solved math problems.

• Discussion questions promote group work and can be used by future teachers to design lessons for elementary/secondary level math classes.
