Burn Math Class

Advance Praise for Burn Math Class: “Jason Wilkes’ spirited, hip-nerdy Burn Math Class is what high school math might look like if it were redesigned by people who loved math but hated high school.” –Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not To Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking “With this wonderful book, Jason Wilkes uses a radical new approach to teach readers a way to assemble for themselves areas of mathematics that once seemed difficult. Fascinating, funny, and thoroughly engaging, this is one of those highly original books that come along once a decade. Not a coffee table book for someone who wants to look educated–it is instead a book for people who actually want to be educated–for someone who wants to take mathematics into his bones.” –John Tooby, Professor of Anthropology and Co-Director, Center for Evolutionary Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara

Jason Wilkes holds an MS in mathematical physics and an MA in psychology. He is currently a graduate student in evolutionary psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
