More than a history of mathematics, this lively book traces mathematical ideas and processes to their sources, stressing the methods used by the masters of the ancient world. Author Tobias Dantzig portrays the human story behind mathematics, showing how flashes of insight in the minds of certain gifted individuals helped mathematics take enormous forward strides. Dantzig demonstrates how the Greeks organized their precursors' melange of geometric maxims into an elegantly abstract deductive system. He also explains the ways in which some of the famous mathematical brainteasers of antiquity led to the development of whole new branches of mathematics.A book that will both instruct and delight the mathematically minded, this volume is also a treat for readers interested in the history of science. Students and teachers of mathematics will particularly appreciate its unusual combination of human interest and sound scholarship.

Massive problems with timely shipping and delivery!!!
Color: Grey, Size: 8' Wide x 6'6" Tall
I have purchased three panels at $1300 plus each. The first two came very late, in one shipment; the third in a separate shipment. I have yet to receive the third, despite being present when shipping has twice said the business was closed. The first two were delivered almost a week late after numerous discussions (over four hours with Amazon support in online chat and phone) specifying there is NO WAY the business was closed as it is open 24/7. CAUTION. Further, the video is misleading. The panels are 70 pounds. A 5’2 athletic woman will most likely need assistance to balance and stabilize the panels. The magnetic buttons work IF you can get the panels aligned, which must be a two-person job for a petite individual due to the panel’s 8 foot height. Check reviews thoroughly for the stability feet which can be purchased separately; the recommended sets are plastic and not sturdy. Overall: BEWARE of shipping and delivery drama. Do not expect this product timely. Ensure two people are available if you are not tall. Recommend consideration for a different acoustic panel system. I will most likely be cancelling the panel I have not yet received. The expense is not worth the numerous issues. Good luck.

Lower Quality than Competitors
Color: Black, Size: 8' Wide x 30" Tall
Construction is different from the Wall I brought from Children's Factory. Would recommend going there for a higher quality product and to save some money.

Well made… for children?
Color: Black, Size: 8' Wide x 30" Tall
This review is for the 30” tall one.
I’m honestly struggling to find a great use case for how short this is.
I don’t have children or am associated with any institution where they may be some.
I could see it being used for creating that type of sound barrier.
The panel itself is very well made. Looks and feels like an air wall that you’d see in a convention center.
I can absolutely tell there’s an acoustic absorption property to it.
The whole thing unrolls quickly and is fast to deploy.
As far as privacy goes, it’s kind of useless unless you are trying to wall in small children.
I can’t really say the value is all here for this. Seems quite a bit more expensive than it’s worth.
