Not just a celebrity as The Math Guy on the National Public Radio in the US, Dr. Keith Devlin is also the founder of the H-Star Institute at the Stanford University. And, as if that wasn’t enough, he’s published more than 30 books on mathematics (e.g. The Language of Mathematics: Making the Invisible Visible and the Mathematics Education for a New Era: Video Games as a Medium for Learning) and is a columnist at the Huffington Post.

The dedicated bicycler, blogger and numerously awarded mathematician shares the view of learning with Thinkout’s founder, Rolf Skoglund. Dr. Devlin even gave his support in the book Thinkout produced in the working with Number Bonds by Thinkout.
