內容簡介
這是一本讓你對「數學」刮目相看的一本知識書
數學的趣味與魅力,翻開書後你一定能點頭如搗蒜
數學,也可以說是人類的發明之一,為什麼大部分的東西是十進位呢?原因並不複雜,因為大多數的人都有十根手指頭!
數學的使用方式,也歷經時代的洗禮,從羅馬數字到現在的阿拉伯數字,這當中的背景與演化,是什麼樣的故事呢?
數字與數學是如何遍佈我們的日常生活?數學對於人類的日常而言,扮演著什麼樣的角色?
一本以幽默的角度,讓你重新認識數學的知識書,搭配漫畫風格的插圖與趣味知識,讓你在歡樂的閱讀中,成為一名小小數學家!
Maths + history + jokes - boring bits = A Quick History of Maths. This book begins around 43,000 years ago with a notched baboon leg, the Lebombo bone (the very first mathematical object in the world) and rushes us past Hindu numerals and the invention of zero, via Pythagoras, Pascal and probability, right up to the present day, with big data and the maths that rules our digital lives. Geometri-cool!
You will discover:
● How to count on your fingers (there are more ways than you might think!)
● Why we have 60 seconds in a minute (hint: it’s to do with the ancient Babylonians)
● How to count like an Egyptian (using hieroglyphs)
● Why it’s hip to be square using square numbers
● A Pythagorean party trick
● The naked truth of Archimedes’ bath time mathematics
● How to do matha-magic with magic squares
● …and much more.
In chronological order from pre-history to present day, this is the story of maths itself. It’s 43,000 years of human mathematical endeavor squeezed into one book for your reading pleasure. Illustrated with funny cartoons and packed with fascinating facts, you’ll be laughing and learning how to be a better mathematician.
