This reference for students in high school and up uses plain language, b&w photos and illustrations, and a minimum of equations and formulas in a question-and answer format. Some questions take readers back to ancient Greece, while others shed light on the latest innovations of math in applications such as computing, finance, sports, and healthcare. Entries are in 15 sections, from math basics and history, through math in the physical and natural sciences and math in everyday life. A final section describes careers in math and lists schools, associations, museums, magazines, nonfiction and even fiction books, and, of course, websites. Reference appendices are included. The authors have written many general-interest science references. Annotation Ã'©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
