Mathematical ideas become physical structures in The Math Doctor: A Three-Dimensional Tour Through Mathematics. Ron van der Meer and Bob Gardner use pop-up demonstrations and accessible explanations to turn abstract concepts into something readers can explore visually. The book approaches subjects including arithmetic, algebra, and logarithms through an interactive format designed to make mathematical relationships easier to grasp.

Published in 1999, this hardcover combines mathematics education with the construction of a movable book. Van der Meer Publishing is credited with its conception, production, design, and paper engineering, placing the three-dimensional presentation at the center of the learning experience. For readers interested in visual mathematics, educational pop-ups, and paper engineering, it offers an alternative to a conventional textbook: a guided encounter with mathematical ideas through explanation and dimensional demonstration.
