Math with Bad Drawings
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoI was ready to pledge on KickStarter, but it's only for the U.S. I hope that doesn't lose him too many pre-orders. Edit: I didn't realise that page was from January - the book is available from Amazon. I thought from the HN title that it was just linking to the homepage, not a specific old page.

- lifeisstillgood 4y agoOk - never seen this before, loved the examples, heading to Amazon now
- eliben 4y agoThese books are awesome - the perfect bait to get kids interested in math topics. We have all three on the shelf; kids first are drawn to the cute stick-figure comics, and read around a bit while they're there - the result is learning interesting bits and pieces about math. Highly recommended! In particular the third book about mathematical games is a delight.
- rg111 4y agoI read the Math with Bad Drawings book. I loved it. I did my undergrad in Physics, and I work in Deep Learning. I have dealt with hard math all my life. And I, too, learned a lot from these books. I would highly recommend this book to you even if you have studied Math systematically in an academic setting. These books are worth the money and time.

- karencarits 4y agoSometimes, this kind of children's books make me sad for not living in an English speaking country. The adults are fine - most adults can read English - but the children are missing out on many great books Can we imagine a future where you can buy books as source files such as latex and then you can translate/edit it by yourself and order customized editions for private use?
