Zoltán Pál Dienes (anglicized as Zoltan Paul Dienes) (June 21, 1916 - January 11, 2014) was a Hungarian mathematician whose ideas on education (especially of small children) have been popular in some countries. He was a world-famous theorist and tireless practitioner of the "new mathematics": an approach to mathematics learning that uses games, songs, and dance to make it more appealing to children.[1]
Dienes's life and ideas are described in his autobiography, Memoirs of a Maverick Mathematician (ISBN 1844261921), and his book of mathematical games, I Will Tell You Algebra Stories You've Never Heard Before (ISBN 1844261913). He has also published a book of poetry, Calls from the Past (ISBN 1844261905).
His later life contributions have been chronicled by Bharath Sriraman in The Mathematics Enthusiast.
