It All Adds Up: The Story of People and Mathematics by Mickael Launay Pdf
‘Fascinating ... so enlightening that suddenly maths doesn’t seem so fearsome as it once did’ SIMON WINCHESTER From Aristotle to Ada Lovelace: a brief history of the mathematical ideas that have forever changed the world and the everyday people and pioneers behind them. The story of our best invention yet.
In this collection of more than thirty essays, published in The New York Times, Esquire and The New Republic, the vast range of Saul Bellow’s nonfiction is made abundantly clear. In Bellow’s capable hands, a single essay can range fluidly across topics as various as the talents of President Roosevelt, the economic narrative of Jay Gatsby, and childhood adventures in Chicago. In this rich mix of literary, political, and personal musings, Bellow is able to explore subjects as enormous as the writer’s search for truth, and as minute as the discomforts of a French doctors’ office. Traveling from Washington to Spain to the Sinai Peninsula, and profiling friends and characters such as John Cheever and John Berryman, Bellow is keenly focused and perceptive. These pages, spanning a lifetime of thought and debate, present provocative arguments and erudite literary criticism, all with the wry humor of a great storyteller. In It All Adds Up, Bellow turns his view away from the sparkling characters of his novels, and towards the conditions and qualities of his own experience of writing and living.

SUMMARY - It All Adds Up: The Story Of People And Mathematics By Mickael Launay by Shortcut Edition Pdf
*By reading this summary, you will discover that the history of mathematics has nothing to envy to the discovery of the New World. It is also thrilling and surprising! The numbers we use every day, the shapes we draw, the theorems our children learn are all the result of a stroke of genius from one of our distant ancestors and have survived centuries of questioning, to make our lives easier today. Are you ready to go back in time to meet those who did the mathematics? *You will also discover that : most mathematical theorems have been developed from very concrete problems drawn from everyday life; the history of mathematics has been transformed by prodigious men and women who have revolutionized this discipline; mathematical theories sometimes take a long time to be accepted by the scientific community. *The author recounts that he set up his stand at the small summer market of La Flotte-en-Ré, between a stall of African braids and another of cell phones. The place seemed unusual to him: that's good, he likes to do math in unlikely places. He should be happy to see the wide-eyed eyes of schoolchildren or their grandparents who realize, by practicing origami or solving its riddles, that mathematics can be exciting. But deep down he feels sorry for himself. Why does this discipline have such a bad press, as it is at the origin of so many things? Why is it so scary? It is time to tame it through a novel and to discover the great steps that made its history ...

Results from national and international assessments indicate that school children in the United States are not learning mathematics well enough. Many students cannot correctly apply computational algorithms to solve problems. Their understanding and use of decimals and fractions are especially weak. Indeed, helping all children succeed in mathematics is an imperative national goal. However, for our youth to succeed, we need to change how we’re teaching this discipline. Helping Children Learn Mathematics provides comprehensive and reliable information that will guide efforts to improve school mathematics from pre--kindergarten through eighth grade. The authors explain the five strands of mathematical proficiency and discuss the major changes that need to be made in mathematics instruction, instructional materials, assessments, teacher education, and the broader educational system and answers some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to mathematics instruction. The book concludes by providing recommended actions for parents and caregivers, teachers, administrators, and policy makers, stressing the importance that everyone work together to ensure a mathematically literate society.
