The first in a series to trace the history of computing, The Art of Counting explores the history of numbers. This series is hands-on; you'll learn by doing. Each chapter has questions and challenges to help you dig deeper into topics you find interesting. You can learn the same methods that have been used throughout the ages for manipulating numbers - from beads and counting boards to the Japanese soroban (abacus) and even algebra. You will have a whole new appreciation for the basis of mathematics and computing!
The book is best used with the workshop, which contains beads, counting boards, and an abacus for hands-on learning. Book contains instructions for the use of each. Entire workshop is only $24.99, including shipping |
