"This book is not about how great #mathematics is, though it is, indeed, a glorious endeavor. [...] this is a book that grounds mathematics in what it means to be a #human being and to live a more fully human life." - @mathyawp @Math4HF

In Spain I was so inspired by work of my host Elena Gil @ET21MaThinking. I visited a math workshop she pioneered for kids with Down’s Syndrome. They explore, make discoveries. And they love it! Do you believe that *everyone* can flourish in math? She lives it out! 👇 1/🧵

An unexpected joy: at #ICME15, I met translators of the Spanish and Chinese language editions of my Flourishing book, who are here! Grateful—translation is hard work: “Matemáticas para el florecimiento humano” (Elena Gil) 《数学的力量：让我们成为更好的人》(Xuan Zheng/Jier Shen)

@nomad_penguin @mathyawp My Masters advisor created one of our core courses based on @mathyawp Dr. Su's book right after its release. This course and the book changed me as a teacher, teacher leader, and person.

Thanks to @misterwootube and @nomad_penguin for getting us thinking about inclusive teaching at @SydMathInst (in the seminar @Tillus_ and I are running on the humanity, culture, and communication of maths). Here are a few things I took away (thread)…

#read2024 “Mathematics for Human Flourishing” by @mathyawp. How maths and doing it helps to fulfil our deep needs as humans, and develop the character strengths that help us flourish, and also how we can welcome everyone into the experiences that let them share in all of that.

A wonderful visit to @HopeCollege. I had a meaningful, moving visit with students in the Hope-Western prison education program, who had read @Math4HF. And I met Alvin, who painted this self-portrait that now hangs in the Hope library. Look closely at the purple book on his desk!

@elijahjwatson So glad to hear it! Thanks for your kind words. In case you’re looking for another recommendation, many people who like my book also like @zenahitz’s “Lost in Thought: the hidden pleasures of an Intellectual Life”.
