Man vs Maths
Author: Timothy Revell
Publisher: Aurum
ISBN: 178131621X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Could we solve queuing with an equation? How do algorithms control our news? What is the secret behind encryption codes? Mathematics is inescapable. Wherever you go, whatever you do, however you live your life, mathematics plays a role. From controlling a city’s traffic to finding love, spending money online to building a skyscraper, the mathematics at play in our world is fascinating. Yet despite its ubiquity, for many of us, how the maths of today really works remains complex. Timothy Revell distils these complexities in this essential guide to modern-day mathematics. Along the way we discover how social media trends work, why the universe has a favourite number and what this means for you. Man vs Maths shows you how understanding a little more mathematics can help improve your life.

How Pac-Man Eats
Author: Noah Wardrip-Fruin
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262360977
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
How the tools and concepts for making games are connected to what games can and do mean; with examples ranging from Papers, Please to Dys4ia. In How Pac-Man Eats, Noah Wardrip-Fruin considers two questions: What are the fundamental ways that games work? And how can games be about something? Wardrip-Fruin argues that the two issues are related. Bridging formalist and culturally engaged approaches, he shows how the tools and concepts for making games are connected to what games can and do mean.

Men of Mathematics
Author: E.T. Bell
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476784256
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
From one of the greatest minds in contemporary mathematics, Professor E.T. Bell, comes a witty, accessible, and fascinating look at the beautiful craft and enthralling history of mathematics. Men of Mathematics provides a rich account of major mathematical milestones, from the geometry of the Greeks through Newton’s calculus, and on to the laws of probability, symbolic logic, and the fourth dimension. Bell breaks down this majestic history of ideas into a series of engrossing biographies of the great mathematicians who made progress possible—and who also led intriguing, complicated, and often surprisingly entertaining lives. Never pedantic or dense, Bell writes with clarity and simplicity to distill great mathematical concepts into their most understandable forms for the curious everyday reader. Anyone with an interest in math may learn from these rich lessons, an advanced degree or extensive research is never necessary.

Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AN ADAM SAVAGE BOOK CLUB PICK The book-length answer to anyone who ever put their hand up in math class and asked, “When am I ever going to use this in the real world?” “Fun, informative, and relentlessly entertaining, Humble Pi is a charming and very readable guide to some of humanity's all-time greatest miscalculations—that also gives you permission to feel a little better about some of your own mistakes.” —Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything Our whole world is built on math, from the code running a website to the equations enabling the design of skyscrapers and bridges. Most of the time this math works quietly behind the scenes . . . until it doesn’t. All sorts of seemingly innocuous mathematical mistakes can have significant consequences. Math is easy to ignore until a misplaced decimal point upends the stock market, a unit conversion error causes a plane to crash, or someone divides by zero and stalls a battleship in the middle of the ocean. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near misses, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, Matt Parker uncovers the bizarre ways math trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

Book Description
A brilliant tour of mathematical thought and a guide to becoming a better thinker, How Not to Be Wrong shows that math is not just a long list of rules to be learned and carried out by rote. Math touches everything we do; It's what makes the world make sense. Using the mathematician's methods and hard-won insights-minus the jargon-professor and popular columnist Jordan Ellenberg guides general readers through his ideas with rigor and lively irreverence, infusing everything from election results to baseball to the existence of God and the psychology of slime molds with a heightened sense of clarity and wonder. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see the hidden structures beneath the messy and chaotic surface of our daily lives. How Not to Be Wrong shows us how--Publisher's description.

Math Explained Book I (Basic Math to Pre-Algebra)
Author: Jeffrey Morris
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578964904
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 1040
Book Description
I created this book over the last 30 years of teaching in public, private, alternative, and higher education schools. Rather than being built on the latest trends in education, this book cuts through the "red tape" of education and explains concepts in terms accessible to all. It is an extremely detailed development of math from the set of digits in the base 10 system to power and root rules (these are usually not taught until algebra but should be). I like to think it is the most complete basic math/pre-algebra book ever written which is why it is over 1000 pages. The book builds on a very rich vocabulary such as "conventions" and "mutually exclusive" and other important foundational concepts which are usually left until much later. Number theory and properties are introduced and built on throughout the book as needed. In addition, some concepts may be found in several chapters as well as multiple appendices and, in this way, repetition is a natural occurrence as one progresses through the book leading to a greater understanding of those concepts. There are many appendices including the language of math, common errors, fractions and decimals, and sign rules. There are some very detailed quick reference guides on things such as everything you need to know about signs and all the steps to simplifying with exponent rules. The book features a ratio section which includes unit conversion by unit cancelling, something students usually learn much later than they should. This book is in a carefully constructed order and is meant to be read start to finish paying attention to all figures and examples. It has many examples. This book is a complete and extremely organized reference perfect for homeschoolers, public or private education students, teachers who want one reference for foundational math concepts up to the beginning of algebra, and as a model for curriculum development. It is meant to be used to master the foundational concepts necessary for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, science, and other applications such as financial math, probability and statistics, and math in every day life.
