Book excerpt: If you found maths lessons at school irrelevant and boring, that’s because you didn’t have a teacher like Bobby Seagull. ***As seen on Monkman & Seagull's Genius Guide to Britain*** Long before his rise to cult fandom on University Challenge, Bobby Seagull was obsessed with numbers. They were the keys that unlocked the randomness of football results, the beauty of art and the best way to get things done. In his absorbing book, Bobby tells the story of his life through numbers and shows the incredible ways maths can make sense of the world around us. From magic shows to rap lyrics, from hobbies to outer space, from fitness to food – Bobby’s infectious enthusiasm for numbers will change how you think about almost everything.

Book Synopsis The Magic of Numbers by : Benedict H. Gross
Download or read book The Magic of Numbers written by Benedict H. Gross and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2004 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Magic of Numbers" was written with two goals in mind: first, to introduce the reader to some of the beauty of numbers--the patterns in their behavior that have fascinated mathematicians for millennia, and some surprising applications of those patterns; second, and equally important, to teach the reader something of the mathematical mode of thought: the feeling of exploration, excitement, and discovery that are part of how mathematics is developed. The book, written originally for the course Quantitative Reasoning 28 that the authors developed and taught at Harvard, draws the reader into the content through an engaging and informal writing style. Example-driven, it reduces to a minimum the abstract notation and formal argument that often creates a barrier between mathematicians and students, focusing more instead on the experimental aspect of the subject. Above all, the authors communicate to the reader a sense of the joy and fascination of learning mathematics. Additional exercises, problems, and sample exams are available at: www.prenhall.com/gross Principal topics include: Counting and basic combinatorics, with applications to probability and games The arithmetic of natural numbers: the Euclidean Algorithm and the unique factorization theorem Modular arithmetic, including Fermat's Theorem, Euler's Theorem, and how to take powers and roots Codes: how the special properties of ordinary and modular arithmetic in combination allow us to construct the public-key codes that help make data transmission secure.
Book Synopsis The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix by : Martin Gardner
Download or read book The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix written by Martin Gardner and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games columns in Scientific American inspired and entertained several generations of mathematicians and scientists. Gardner in his crystal-clear prose illuminated corners of mathematics, especially recreational mathematics, that most people had no idea existed. His playful spirit and inquisitive nature invite the reader into an exploration of beautiful mathematical ideas along with him. These columns were both a revelation and a gift when he wrote them; no one--before Gardner--had written about mathematics like this. They continue to be a marvel. This volume is a collection of Irving Joshua Matrix columns published in the magazine from 1960-1980. There were several collections of Dr. Matrix, the first in 1967; they were revised as Gardner reconnected with the good doctor over the years. This is the 1985 Prometheus Books edition and contains all the Dr. Matrix columns from the magazine.
Book Synopsis Galileo and the Magic Numbers by : Sidney Rosen
Download or read book Galileo and the Magic Numbers written by Sidney Rosen and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “enjoyable” biography of the brilliant astronomer will intrigue young people who are “bored with the textbook approach to science” (The New York Times Book Review). Sixteenth century Italy produced Galileo, a genius who marked the world with his studies and hypotheses about mathematical, physical, and astronomical truths. His father, musician Vincenzio Galilei said, “Truth is not found behind a man’s reputation. Truth appears only when the answers to questions are searched out by a free mind. This is not the easy path in life but it is the most rewarding.” Galileo challenged divine law and the physics of Aristotle, and questioned everything in search of truths. And it was through this quest for truth that he was able to establish a structure for modern science.

Book Synopsis ZERO to NINE by : Subramanian Venkatachalam
Download or read book ZERO to NINE written by Subramanian Venkatachalam and published by . This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is only about numbers. Every number is unique and has its own speciality. Each number has some unique properties. The numbers starting with zero up to nine are discussed in each chapter. When used as a counting number, zero means that no objects are present. It is the only integer (and in fact the only real number) that is neither negative nor positive. Among the whole numbers or integers, zero is unique. Numbers are fascinatingly complex in their relationships. There is beauty and magic in each number. The numbers also have a gender and can be male or female. Numbers have been classified in to odd and even. A number can be prime or composite. Number two is called the "oddest prime" because it is the only even prime number. Two and three have been called the "Siamese twins" among the primes, since they are the only two which are not separated by a composite number. You will read about Prime numbers, Perfect numbers, Lucky numbers, Happy numbers, Fermat numbers and a lot more numbers in this book. Nine is the last single digit number and it is peculiar in many respects. Figurate numbers starting with square and triangular numbers proceed up to nonagonal numbers. Magic squares composed of figurate numbers have been included. Numbers play an important part in any language especially so in English. Idioms and phrases using the numbers zero to nine along with their meanings have been discussed in Appendix A. Indian mythology and Sanskrit language contain several references to numbers and these are highlighted. Number recreations eventually come to Number Amusements. Students and others with an interest in mathematics for entertainment will enjoy reading this book. At the end of the book, one chapter is devoted to arithmetical problems. Over 200 questions have been included which vary in their difficulty from very simple to moderate and complex. Any person with even a slight interest in mathematics also will find this book very useful.
