"I highly recommend the book to teachers who would like to ground their lessons in the sort of mathematical investigations that were undertaken throughout history. The book is useful for teachers looking for enrichment exercises or good exposition on the historical development of a topic under study."
--The Mathematics Teacher
"The writing is clear, and graphs, tables and charts are provided in abundance to support the text. The classrooms used in the studies indicated a mix relative to gender and race, and one reviewer stated that the research questions did not seem biased in any way."
