Mathematics on Fire. An Unboring Non-Textbook

If you struggled with mathematics, it might not have been you, but rather how it was presented to you. This book can be called a provocation. The proposed approach to studying mathematics changes the usual perception of it as a boring and abstract discipline that needs to be memorized. The author, together with the reader, creates a mathematical universe that is engaging and captivating. He does not postulate mathematical concepts but gradually derives them from our understanding of the surrounding world. According to Jason Wilks, the education system is brilliantly designed to punish creative abilities; to teach how to write mathematical symbols correctly rather than think independently. His book will be a smart and slightly crazy teacher for you, helping you reach discoveries and definitions on your own, rather than memorize them. An important note: this book can be a great addition to any standard textbook but cannot replace it!
