Saba Hukida, the mobster complicit in the most heinous crime his country has ever seen, learns that it's never too late for a chance at redemption when he falls into the company of a ragtag crew of fellow outcasts.

With unusual primary sources from over a dozen educational archives, Performing Math argues for a new, performance-oriented history of American math education, one that can explain contemporary math attitudes and provide a way forward to reframing the problem of math anxiety.
