edit data

Paul Lockhart is a history professor at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. His first four books are about the history of Scandinavia, but in 2006 he decided to write for a broader audience and hence returned to his roots in early American history. His fifth book, THE DRILLMASTER OF VALLEY FORGE: THE BARON DE STEUBEN AND THE MAKING OF THE AMERICAN ARMY (HarperCollins, 2008), was his first wide-release title.

Lockhart's latest book, THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES: BUNKER HILL, THE FIRST AMERICAN ARMY, AND THE EMERGENCE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON (HarperCollins, 2011), tells the story of that famous battle and challenges some of the most enduring myths -- and misperceptions -- about that battle.

Paul Lockhart lives near Dayton, Ohio, with his wife, Ma ...more

Ooh, boy, am I behind…

I don’t know when I last posted on here, but it’s been at least a couple of years. I’ve been busy with things related to FIREPOWER since then, for the most part, including some really fun podcasts. Well, they were fun for me, anyway; I can’t guarantee that they’ll be fun for you. Here’s one of them, freshly recorded earlier this week.

Quotes by Paul Lockhart (?)

“If teaching is reduced to mere data transmission, if there is no sharing or excitement and wonder, if teachers themselves are passive recipients of information and not creators of new ideas, what hope is there for their students?”
― Paul Lockhart, A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form

“And I'll go even further and say that mathematics, this art of abstract pattern-making — even more than storytelling, painting, or music - is our most quintessentially human art form. This is what our brains do, whether we like it or not. We are biochemical pattern-recognition machines and mathematics is nothing less than the distilled essence of who we are.”

“I don't see how it's doing society any good to have it's members walking around with vague memories of algebraic formulas and geometric diagrams, and clear memories of hating them.”
