A Mathematician’s Lament

This reading, “A Mathematician’s Lament” by Paul Lockhart is something my pal Bob Shepherd at Praxis sent my way. I regret admitting that I haven’t read it in its entirety, but if Bob says it’s worth my time, I am confident it is. This essay, which Mr. Lockhart expanded into a book, is available all over the Internet as a PDF, so, happily, I’m violating no copyright in placing it here on Mark’s Text Terminal.
