Mathematics is a subject taught from kindergarten through to high
school, and yet it is the one subject that most adults are almost
proud to admit to not having been very good at, and, therefore,
tend to avoid it where they can. However, one of the key factors in
mathematics is its ability to enable us to solve everyday problems.
When we consider 'the worst-case scenario' of the situation, it is
analogous to solving a mathematical problem by considering
extremes. Or, we might consider the best path to take from point A
to point B, where geometric relationships can be helpful. This book
is intended to demonstrate a variety of neglected aspects of
mathematics, in order to demonstrate the power and beauty of the
field of mathematics beyond where most people, students, and
teachers believe is possible.The chapters of the book explore a
multitude of topics: unusual arithmetic calculations and shortcuts,
entertaining and instructional problem-solving strategies, unusual
applications of algebra, and how geometry allows us to better
appreciate physical relationships. Only a basic mathematical
knowledge is needed to understand these topics and problems;
however, the book also demonstrates that, armed with even this
level of understanding, our mathematical skills far exceed what we
learned at school! The final chapter is the most challenging, and
explores a curious problem-solving technique.
