Paul Lockhart
Perhaps no mathematician has had a greater influence on my thinking about math, my appreciation for it, and my approach to classroom teaching than Paul Lockhart. He and I worked together in the Math department at Saint Ann's School, but I first met him through his writing. If you have not yet, I greatly encourage you to read his books. They are eye-opening, charming, and wonderfully true. (And uncompromisingly true to Paul himself).
