The topic for this book is the study of continued fractions, including important results involving the Euclidean algorithm, the golden ratio, and approximations to rational and irrational numbers. The course includes 14 problem sets designed for low-threshold, high-ceiling access to the topic, building on one another as the concepts are explored. The book also includes solutions for all the main problems and detailed facilitator notes for those wanting to use this book with students at any level. The course is based on one delivered at the Park City Math Institute in Summer 2018.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Institute for Advanced Study/Park City Mathematics Institute.
ReadershipUndergraduate students interested in professional development for middle and high school teachers.

As I began doing the problems for this review, I did not expect to be captivated by the excitement of seeing so many connections, and it propelled me to complete this review in record time. I highly recommend this book for workshops and seminars for teachers in high school and in college.
