An old joke tells of a tourist, lost in New York City, who stops a passerby to ask, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” The New Yorker’s answer comes back quickly: “Practice, practice, practice!” The joke may be lame, but it contains a truth. No musician performs on the stage of a renowned concert hall without years of daily and diligent practice.

Mathematical Connections: A Companion for Teachers
This book is about some of the topics that form the foundations for high school mathematics. It focuses on a closely-knit collection of ideas that are at the intersection of algebra, arithmetic, combinatorics, geometry, and calculus. Most of the ideas are classical: methods for fitting polynomial functions to data, for summing powers of integers, for visualizing the iterates of a function defined on the complex plane, or for obtaining identities among entries in Pascal's triangle.
The field of mathematics today represents an ongoing global effort, spanning both countries and centuries. While some developments emerged in multiple cultures, independent of each other, others involved an extensive exchange of ideas among individuals around the world. Through this in-depth narrative, students will learn how major mathematical concepts were first derived, as well as how they evolved with the advent of later thinkers shedding new light on various applications.
