About the Author

Carl (Carlos) Holdren Lupton has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and minor degrees in Education and Art. Mr. Lupton has always thought that too much time has been spent on arithmetic exercises in the public school system: which is the primary study of mathematics in grades first through eight.

Editorial Reviews

Carl (Carlos) Holdren Lupton's children's educational book, The Wonderful World of Genie Geometry, demystifies the foundations and concepts of geometry in an entertaining and interactive format. Phillip Godenschwager's illustrations are funny and are easy to draw models to help children complete their assignments. I love mathematics, but, as a math tutor, found geometry to be a subject that can intimidate or scare both kids and adults. Lupton's approach makes geometry easily accessible by making the learning experience a hands-on process. He also breaks down the relationships between lines and angles in a literary format that also works as a fairy tale or fantasy story. I won't be forgetting Grandpa also works as a fairy tale or fantasy story. I won't be forgetting Grandpa Pythagoras Geometry any time soon, and I don't think kids who work through this clever and original book will either. The Wonderful World of Genie Geometry is highly recommended.
