"Prof.
Hart presented interesting, engaging, amusing mathematical gems for
our high school students and staff, then followed up with a teacher in-service
workshop. It was all worthwhile and well received. I
recommend his program to any school interested in boosting interest
and appreciation for mathematics." |

to math.
....Please plan on a sequel next spring." |

"Bill
Hart is obviously excited about math, and his excitement about numbers
is contagious.
After spending an hour at the professor's seminar, I realized
there are a number of everyday situations that make more sense after
having been looked at numerically.
For many of us in the media, numbers are something to be avoided.
Bill's hour-long session refreshed us on some of the basics and
reminded us that a little common sense and some critical thinking goes
a long way.
While many of the examples he used were some of the same ones he uses
for his elementary school assemblies, they were not belittling by any
means. In fact, some of us in the room overlooked the obvious and
jumped to conclusions that proved to be false.
I would recommend Hart's sessions to anyone that has an aversion to
numbers or just needs a refresher course."

"I
would like to thank you for the wonderful talk "The Joys of
Math" that you presented for the University of Iowa's Student
Chapter of the MAA (the Math Club).
The
presentation was a delight to hear and gave very good examples on how
to make our subject more attractive to those who start by being
prejudiced against it. All the members of the Math Club and guests
enjoyed the lecture and learned a lot from it. I hope we can repeat
this in the future years."

Our St. Edward students and invited guests were spellbound. Professor Hart had them mesmerized. Our teachers learned new ways to make math fun and useful and were given a philosophy of math education filled with joy and wonder.
My staff joins me in recommending the "Math With Hart" program. |
