The nice thing that happened in class today:@dahukanna @futurebird I was once asked what book a 13yo should read about math. I said "give'em Eric Bell's _Men of Mathematics_".
The book is well-written, and it's full of scurrilous gossip and silly legendary bullshit.
But at 13, we don't really need to know the truth of everything. We need to know that math really *matters*, we need to know that actual *people* made math.
Bell's a great story-teller, and at 13 we need to know we are part of a story.
