(P.S. We have a second book, too.)
So, what is in the book? Every chapter (except for the
introduction) has four sections. First, there's an overview intended for both
crafters and mathematicians, so it should be understandable to mathematicians
who don't know anything about crafting and also for crafters who don't know
anything about mathematics. Then, there's a section of detailed mathematics
that is intended for mathematicians. All of the authors have made an effort to
include basic information so that mathematical enthusiasts who are not
professional mathematicians can follow the bulk of the material. The third
section of each chapter contains teaching ideas, and these range from
elementary-school level to graduate level. Finally, every chapter has a
project, with instructions written for and tested by crafters.
There is an index with both mathematics and craft terms, and the usual
acknowledgements, credits, table of contents, and such.
