Math Concepts by Gaurav Bhatnagar

by | Thursday, November 20, 2008

Gaurav Bhatnagar is one of my oldest friends – going back to 8th grade in Modern School, Barakhamba Road. He recently published his first book on Mathematics for kids, titled, Get Smart: Maths Concepts, published by Penguin India. The book also has an associated blog – though it is rather sparsely populated with posts at this moment. This makes him the third school friend of mine to have written a mathematics related book. How cool is that! Congratulations Gaurav!

You can read about the other two authors and their book here.

Design is for life

Quote for the day: Parents look at their children today when they are 3 years old and say "Oh god!, He doesn't know how to operate the computer! How is he going to go ahead like this?" They should instead be worried if their child doesn’t know design. They should say,...
