Asimov on Numbers: Isaac Asimov: bltadwin.ru: Books. Asimov on Numbers is a non-traditional compilation of Isaac Asimov's essays for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, collected by subject rather than by date of appearance. Of course, the articles focus on numbers, but not entirely on mathematics: "Forget it!", for instance, explains why some knowledge is better off no longer being taught in grade school, even if it had been vital at some point. As a high school Algebra II teacher, this book is extremely helpful. I use it to begin discussions with my students on the nature of number. Asimov starts with mere quantity and shows how one could theoretically get from quantity to the imaginary number and beyond. Fascinating in its own rite.
