Readyto exercise those brain cells? Humans have been having fun withmathematics for thousands of years. Along the way, they've discoveredthe amazing utility of this field—in science, engineering, finance,games of chance, and many other aspects of life. This course of 24half-hour lectures celebrates the sheer joy of mathematics, taught by amathematician who is literally a magician with numbers. ProfessorArthur T. Benjamin of Harvey Mudd College is renowned for his feats ofmental calculation performed before audiences at schools, theaters,museums, conferences, and other venues.

Although racing acalculator to solve a difficult problem may seem like a superhumanachievement, Professor Benjamin shows that there are simple tricks thatallow anyone to look like a math magician. Professor Benjamin hasanother goal in this course: throughout these lectures, he shows howeverything in mathematics is connected—how the beautiful and oftenimposing edifice that has given us algebra, geometry, trigonometry,calculus, probability, and so much else is based on nothing more thanfooling around with numbers.
