"Are you a video game enthusiast who is getting tired of being asked 'How can you waste time on such stuff?' This book is your answer! Matthew Lane skillfully weaves a tale of how video games can be important tools for teaching mathematics and physics. As a long-time video gamer, I highly recommend Power-Up."--Paul J. Nahin, author of In Praise of Simple Physics

"What a delightful journey through the math of hidden worlds! This is much more than a book about video games. It's an exploration of interconnectedness and an invitation for the perpetually curious."--Karim Ani, founder of Mathalicious

"After reading Power-Up, parents, teachers, and nongamers who have eschewed letting young people play video games may see that games are not the 'evil distraction' they have been made out to be."--Robin Angotti, University of Washington
