Reading Lockhart's 'Lament' I was struck by the emphasis on teaching maths as something with a *history*. Any recommendations for history of maths, esp books for primary students (but also for me)? Ta @Simon_Gregg @annemathswatson @MichaelOllerton

@berniewestacott ?
Yes, absolutely: I think both Sonya Kovalevskaya and Sophie Germain appear. And if I recall correctly, at least one other, as well.

There are some great history of mathematics picture books that I use with primary children. Nothing Stopped Sophie is one of them:https://twitter.com/Simon_Gregg/status/1043136135411707905 …
