Entertaining books on math add up to profitable reading
Regular readers of our column know we've been finding books about various subjects since our back-to-school column in August. Today we cover math, not a common plotline when it comes to literature. And while last year's How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara (Random House) set the bar pretty high for math books, today's selections combine numbers and words in a way that equals absolute value!

Next week tune in for some scientific finds.
