 "The Calculus of Friendship" by Steven Strogatz

Хочу проинформировать участников Форума о книге, которая IMHO имеет прямое отношение к вопросам преподавания математики.

"The Calculus of Friendship: What a Teacher and a Student Learned about Life while Corresponding about Math", by Steven Strogatz // Princeton University Press. 2009

Книгу можно свободно скачать с сайта library.nu (бывшая gigapedia.com).

Аннотация:
Цитата:
The Calculus of Friendship is the story of an extraordinary connection between a teacher and a student, as chronicled through more than thirty years of letters between them. What makes their relationship unique is that it is based almost entirely on a shared love of calculus. For them, calculus is more than a branch of mathematics; it is a game they love playing together, a constant when all else is in flux. The teacher goes from the prime of his career to retirement, competes in whitewater kayaking at the international level, and loses a son. The student matures from high school math whiz to Ivy League professor, suffers the sudden death of a parent, and blunders into a marriage destined to fail. Yet through it all they take refuge in the haven of calculus--until a day comes when calculus is no longer enough.

IMHO в определении "хороший преподаватель математики" первая часть: "хороший преподаватель", гораздо важнее второй: "хороший математик".
