Math with Bad Drawings: Illuminating the Ideas That Shape Our Reality

by Ben Orlin

A hilarious reeducation in mathematics-full of joy, jokes, and stick figures-that sheds light on the countless practical and wonderful ways that math structures and shapes our world. In Math With Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals to us what math actually is; its myriad uses, its strange symbols, and the wild leaps of logic and faith that define the usually impenetrable work of the mathematician. Truth and knowledge come in multiple forms: colorful drawings, encouraging jokes, and the stories and insights of an empathetic teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin shows us how to think like a mathematician by teaching us a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe, how to understand an economic crises by rolling a pair of dice, and the mathematical headache that ensues when attempting to build a spherical Death Star. Every discussion in the book is illustrated with Orlin's trademark "bad drawings," which convey his message and insights with perfect pitch and clarity. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics to the reasons not to trust statistics, Math with Bad Drawings is a life-changing book for the math-estranged and math-enamored alike.

Math Without Numbers

by Milo Beckman

An illustrated tour of the structures and patterns we call "math" The only numbers in this book are the page numbers. Math Without Numbers is a vivid, conversational, and wholly original guide to the three main branches of abstract math—topology, analysis, and algebra—which turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. This book upends the conventional approach to math, inviting you to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and how these concepts all fit together. What awaits readers is a freewheeling tour of the inimitable joys and unsolved mysteries of this curiously powerful subject. Like the classic math allegory Flatland, first published over a century ago, or Douglas Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach forty years ago, there has never been a math book quite like Math Without Numbers. So many popularizations of math have dwelt on numbers like pi or zero or infinity. This book goes well beyond to questions such as: How many shapes are there? Is anything bigger than infinity? And is math even true? Milo Beckman shows why math is mostly just pattern recognition and how it keeps on surprising us with unexpected, useful connections to the real world. The ambitions of this book take a special kind of author. An inventive, original thinker pursuing his calling with jubilant passion. A prodigy. Milo Beckman completed the graduate-level course sequence in mathematics at age sixteen, when he was a sophomore at Harvard; while writing this book, he was studying the philosophical foundations of physics at Columbia under Brian Greene, among others.

Mathability: Math in the Real World (Grades 5-8)

by Michael Cain

Mathability gives students the experience and ability to analyze and solve real-life mathematical problems, and explain their methods for arriving at the solution. Mathability is an excellent resource for preparing students for the performance tasks of standards-based tests. The six units in this book each have 10 problems that deal with a variety of real-life situations, such as those at a construction site, on vacation, in a business, and at home. The open-ended problems let students hone their skills in geometry, probability, percentages, use of charts, algebra, number relations/operations, money, and decimals. Open-ended performance tasks have become a mainstay of standards-based testing. It is one of the tasks that most students perform at below proficiency level. Much of this low performance is due to a student's lack of experience with writing explanations of the mathematics that made it possible to solve the problem. Mathabilty presents a systematic approach that will lead students to proficiency.Within each unit, this book provides four different levels of problems. The Step-by-Step Level leads a student through the problem and provides a format for presenting their answers. The Prompted Level provides the format for presenting the solution and hints on how to solve the problem. The Independent Level allows students to solve and explain their answers on their own, and the Challenge Level problems present a venue for gifted and talented students to push their skills to a higher level.Grades 5-8

Mathe ist noch mehr: Aufgaben und Lösungen der Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade 2012–2017

by Paul Jainta Lutz Andrews Alfred Faulhaber Bertram Hell Eike Rinsdorf Christine Streib

Der vorliegende Band enthält alle Probleme der 21. bis 25. Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade, getrennt nach Jahrgangsstufen und Lösungsstrategien. Die Aufgaben belegen, dass sich Problemlösen vermitteln und erlernen lässt. Zum erfolgreichen Lösen von Aufgaben gehört gar nicht so viel: Zuversicht, Konzentration und Mut. Zielloses Probieren und strenges Vorgehen sind ebenso legitime Maßnahmen. Als Zugewinn winkt ein Mix aus Strategien und taktischen Tricks. Das hat nicht selten den erfreulichen Nebeneffekt, dass Skeptiker („Wie bringe ich da Mathematik hinein?“) zu ihrer eigenen Verblüffung in manchen Alltagssituationen mathematische Zusammenhänge erkennen. Problemlösen kann durch viel Übung und Tun erlernt werden. Daher soll das Buch neugierig machen auf Knobeln, auf verschiedene Zugänge zu den Problemen – und auf Mathematik! Es richtet sich an eine breite Leserschaft, angefangen bei Schülern ab Klasse 5 bis 8, die wissbegierig sind und Neues lernen wollen, an Lehrkräfte, Eltern sowie an alle Liebhaber der Mathematik. Die Aufgaben sind erfolgreich einsetzbar in der mathematischen Förderung begabter SchülerInnen in Arbeitsgemeinschaften oder Pluskursen, können eine willkommene Abwechslung im Unterricht sein und eignen sich zum Selbststudium. Die zahlreichen Aufgaben stellen reichhaltiges Übungsmaterial für weiterführende Wettbewerbe bereit. Die Aufgabenstellungen sind in der Regel kurz und griffig wie eine Werbebotschaft, um vor allem auch jüngere SchülerInnen anzulocken.

Mathe ist noch viel mehr: Aufgaben und Lösungen der Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade 1992-1999

by Paul Jainta Lutz Andrews

Mathe ist noch viel mehrDer vorliegende Band enthält alle Aufgaben und Lösungen aus den sieben Anfangsjahren 1992–1999 der Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade, getrennt nach Jahrgangsstufen und Lösungsstrategien. Die Fürther Mathematik-Olympiade ist ein zweistufiger Hausaufgabenwettbewerb. Ziel des Wettbewerbs ist, Schülerinnen und Schüler möglichst früh für Mathematik zu begeistern.Im Gründungsjahr boten wir Aufgaben für die Jahrgänge 7/8 und 9/10 an, ein Jahr später bereits für 5/6 bis 9/10 und schließlich kam noch die Jahrgangsstufe 11 hinzu. Die Olympiade Junger Mathematiker in der ehemaligen DDR war hierfür eine Blaupause.Wir empfehlen ausdrücklich, mit dem Buch zu arbeiten, etwa in Arbeitsgemeinschaften, Pluskursen, Zirkeln, zur Lockerungsübung im Unterricht zwischendurch oder in der Vertretungsstunde. Die Fragestellungen aus dem Buch eignen sich auch als Anregung für besondere Übungsaufgaben und zum Selbststudium in Anlehnung an die Worte von Seneca: „Wahre Freude ist eine ernste Sache“.Teilnehmer schätzen mathematische Aktivitäten oft als sportliche Betätigungen. Der Reiz liegt darin, Schwieriges mit schöpferischer Energie und Ausdauer und nicht selten dem gewissen Quäntchen Glück zu bewältigen und auch darin, dass man sich in Konkurrenz mit Wettkämpfern aus anderen Schulen messen kann. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass gerade der spielerische Charakter der Aufgaben sehr viele Jüngere anlockt.

Mathematica: A Secret World of Intuition and Curiosity

by David Bessis

A fascinating look into how the transformative joys of mathematical experience are available to everyone, not just specialists Math has a reputation for being inaccessible. People think that it requires a special gift or that comprehension is a matter of genes. Yet the greatest mathematicians throughout history, from René Descartes to Alexander Grothendieck, have insisted that this is not the case. Like Albert Einstein, who famously claimed to have &“no special talent,&” they said that they had accomplished what they did using ordinary human doubts, weaknesses, curiosity, and imagination. David Bessis guides us on an illuminating path toward deeper mathematical comprehension, reconnecting us with the mental plasticity we experienced as children. With simple, concrete examples, Bessis shows how mathematical comprehension is integral to the great learning milestones of life, such as learning to see, to speak, to walk, and to eat with a spoon. Focusing on the deeply human roots of mathematics, Bessis dispels the myths of mathematical genius. He offers an engaging initiation into the experience of math not as a series of discouragingly incomprehensible logic problems but as a physical activity akin to yoga, meditation, or a martial art. This perspective will change the way you think not only about math but also about intelligence, intuition, and everything that goes on inside your head.
