I received a proof copy of this book. It will temporarily have to sit on my shelf until the summer when I get some time to read it. I requested a copy from the publisher as the book’s website provides some interesting activities.  Have a look at them here. Each section is broken down with a brief explanation and a design problem for students to solve. Has anyone else looked at it?
