I applaud the author's creativity! This activity book is a unique way to expose children early to mathematical ideas and to a part of American history that is not readily accessible at a young age." - Dr. Sylvia T. Bozeman<br /><br />"Realize your 'Dream Job'. Then work to make that your reality!" - Dr. Christine Darden<br /><br />"Diversity of representative images of Black women in all facets of life is so important for all. Thank you to Shelly Jones for providing a platform to celebrate the contributions of Black women to mathematics." - Dr. Candice Price<br /><br />"Once you have learned to think as a mathematician, in a structured and strategic manner, you can solve all kinds of problems. This activity book is the beginning toolbox for aspiring problem solvers!" - Dr. Shree Whitaker Taylor<br /><br />"The work Dr. Jones is doing is essential to promoting awareness and inclusion in the mathematical sciences." - Dr. Christina Eubanks-Turner<br /><br />"This is a great endeavor!
