One of the world's most creative mathematicians offers a new way to look at math--focusing on questions, not answers Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize A New Scientist Best Book of the Year "Brilliant." --Popular Science Where do we learn math: From rules in a textbook? From logic and deduction? Not really, according to mathematician Eugenia Cheng: we learn it from human curiosity--most importantly, from asking questions. This may come as a surprise to those who think that math is about finding the one right answer, or those who were told that the "dumb" question they asked just proved they were bad at math.
