Description: Please note this is a new & sealed item. Inside Mathematics: 3-Book Box Set. 1. Algebra to Calculus - Unlocking Math’s Amazing Power 2. Geometry- Understanding Shapes and Sizes 3. Probability & Statistics - How Mathematics can Predict the Future Schoolroom sums and exercises are crucial in learning to appreciate the awesome power of mathematics. But they are often a world away from how this knowledge came to be and where it came from. Inside Mathematics fills in the gaps, telling the stories of the amazing people behind core curriculum mathematics. Each book shows how the ideas of long-dead geniuses ended up in homework assignments: The Mayans of ancient Mexico were using zeros long before anyone else. We count time and angles in multiples of 60 because that is what the people of Babylon did. Meanwhile, Pythagoras was murdered. The shape of a credit card is defined by the golden ratio. And John Napier, the inventor of logarithms, seldom appeared in public without his pet cockerel. Non-smoking home.
