The Mathematical Investigations of Dr. O and Arya

＂A playful approach to some core ideas of mathematics, this book will help lay the foundation for understanding algebra and probability. Dr. O and his young associate Arya explore and discover ideas in ciphers, triangular numbers, primes and composites, probability, and a variety of fascinating number patterns. For a parent and curious child, or for a curious child alone, these mathematical investigations will invite re-reading and further exploration.＂--Back cover.

Arya Ökten is a PhD candidate in neuroscience, and worked with her father over many years as he developed this book. Dr. Ökten is a professor of mathematics at Florida State University, where he researches computational finance and Monte Carlo methods. He wrote this book with his daughter based on workshops they co-led for elementary students.
