The Magic of Mathematics: How to Find x and Why It Is Needed
No circulation
Why couldn't we learn about numbers, algebra, and geometry in such an exciting way earlier? Why couldn't we immediately explain why we need all these parabolas, integrals, and probabilities? It turns out that mathematics surrounds us. It's everywhere! Water flows...
from a fountain in a parabola, and engineers use the properties of parabolas to calculate the trajectory of airplanes and satellites. With the help of integrals, you can calculate how much linoleum you need to cover a room of irregular shape. And the ability to calculate the probability of an event will help you win at poker. «The Magic of Mathematics» — the book you dreamed of in school. Everything that used to boggle your mind is now simple and clear: Pascal's triangle, mathematical infinity, magical properties of numbers, the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio. Also, professional magician Arthur Benjamin shares the secrets of mathematical tricks. Demonstrate them — your audience will surely reach for calculators to recalculate.
