Engaging Arithmetic. Engaging Geometry. Engaging Mechanics

Mathematics and mechanics surround a person everywhere: in the movement of transport, in the design of buildings, in the operation of simple tools and modern machines. However, behind familiar actions and phenomena often lie patterns that remain unnoticed. The books of Yakov Perelman help to see these patterns and turn the study of science into an exciting exploration. This collection includes three classical works by the author: «Engaging Arithmetic», «Engaging Geometry» and «Engaging Mechanics». Each of them is dedicated to a separate field of knowledge, but together they form a coherent introduction to the world of exact sciences. Perelman shows how mathematical and physical laws manifest in various life situations, offering observations and experiments that develop logical thinking and teach how to independently seek solutions to any, even the most complex, problems. The book will be of interest to schoolchildren, students, teachers, and anyone who wants to see familiar sciences from a new perspective and discover the intellectual legacy of one of the most famous popularizers of science.
