Problems with a Point - Exploring Math and Computer Science

Ever notice how people sometimes use math words inaccurately? Or how sometimes you instinctively know a math statement is false (or not known)?
Each chapter of this book makes a point like those above and then illustrates the point by doing some real mathematics through step-by-step mathematical techniques.
This book gives readers valuable information about how mathematics and theoretical computer science work, while teaching them some actual mathematics and computer science through examples and exercises. Much of the mathematics could be understood by a bright high school student. The points made can be understood by anyone with an interest in math, from the bright high school student to a Field's medal winner.
