G Is for Googol: A Math Alphabet Book

57 pp. | Tricycle | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-883672-58-9 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Marissa Moss. From exotic terms like rhombicosidodecahedron to the more familiar hundred and symmetry, this volume tackles a different mathematical word or concept for every letter of the alphabet. The casual tone and funny examples will appeal to both math lovers and math-phobes. Like the body text, sidebars include whimsical illustrations and other math jargon beginning with the featured letter. Glos.
