The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math by Sean Connolly Pdf

Math rocks! At least it does in the gifted hands of Sean Connolly, who blends middle school math with fantasy to create an exciting adventure in problem-solving. These word problems are perilous, do-or-die scenarios of blood-sucking vampires (How many months would it take a single vampire to completely take over a town of 500,000 people?), or a rowboat of 5 shipwrecked sailors with a single barrel of freshwater (How much can they drink, and for how long, before they go mad from thirst???). Each problem requires readers to dig deep into the tools they’re learning in school to figure out how to survive. Kids will love solving these problems. Sean Connolly knows how to make tough subjects exciting and he brings that same intuitive understanding of what inspires and challenges kids’ curiosity to the 24 problems in The Book of Perfectly Perilous Math. These problems are as fun to read as they are challenging to solve. They test readers on fractions, algebra, geometry, probability, expressions and equations, and more. Use geometry to fill in for the ship’s navigator and make it safely to the New World. Escape an evil Duke’s executioner by picking the right door—probability will save your neck.

Yakov Perelman’s Physics For Entertainment by Yakov Perelman Pdf

Published in 1913, a best-seller in the 1930s and long out of print, Physics for Entertainment was translated from Russian into many languages and influenced science students around the world. In the foreword, the book's author describes the contents as "conundrums, brain-teasers, entertaining anecdotes, and unexpected comparisons," adding, "I have quoted extensively from Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain and other writers, because, besides providing entertainment, the fantastic experiments these writers describe may well serve as instructive illustrations at physics classes." The book's topics included how to jump from a moving car, and why, "according to the law of buoyancy, we would never drown in the Dead Sea."

How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg Pdf

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.

The Monster Book of Algebra by Harold Davis,Phyllis Davis Pdf

"The Monster Book of Algebra" presents an alternative way to learn elementary algebra. The learning is visual, and comes in the form of stories, jokes, games, puzzles, and fun mental exercises. Each chapter presents a story narrative with interesting characters that propel the action-and the reader--through the algebra concepts that are covered. For example, in Chapter 7 readers help Muffy the Polynomial Slayer and her sidekick Aspen battle the forces of the Undead. (Did you know that vampires are great at factoring polynomials?) Chapter 9 takes readers into the world of Al-Jitsu where Master Li and his rash, young disciple use the gentle Way of the Fraction to take on the evil dojo vying for world domination. In Chapter 11 readers find out why polynomials are like a box of chocolates and travel with Jenni and Forrest on a Radical Roadtrip as they journey to The Summer of Quadratics. "The Monster Book of Algebra" can be used by readers to self-teach algebra, as each concept is clearly explained and comes with many reinforcing exercises. The book can also be used as engaging supplementary material to support a more traditional classroom algebra course. "The Monster Book of Algebra" is primarily intended for junior high and high school students. In addition, adult education students will find this book useful. The underlying math presented in the book is a complete and rigorous elementary algebra syllabus. Readers who work their way through the book and complete each exercise will learn algebra and actually have fun along the way!
