A good way to learn to do math in English is to do math in English. The topics and materials should be accessible but engaging. This gives us incentive to make tangents into gambling, game theory, computers, art, and any other fields where we see connections. Interdisciplinary applied mathematics can be found in these pages. **Mathematics Done in English** is an English-language textbook targeted towards ESL students who already have some level of sophistication doing math in their native language and would benefit from learning how to do the same kinds of things in English. Simply repeating content students have already seen in a new language is insufficient for retaining attention and concern. After all, if you can already do it, there’s no reason to do it a second time. If we take existing mathematical knowledge and build on it, however, there is motivation to learn both the English and the mathematics.
