Are you an explorer, an artist, a gambler, a scientist, an environmentalist, or a philosopher?
In this groundbreaking book, Dr Alan Graham argues that in fact these six different personality traits are present in all of us, to a greater or lesser degree. He provides a number of practical questionnaires and exercises which will help us to understand ourselves.
Although we don't realise it, these six different personality styles are underpinned by our approach to and understanding mathematics. Some if this knowledge is innate in all of us, some of it is learnt in school, and some of it you may not learn until you read this remarkable book.
Alan Graham has lectured in Mathematics Education at the Open University for over 30 years. His particular interest is statistics and he has written a number of books and OU course units in this field. He is also the author of Teach Yourself Basic Mathematics.
