Move over, Sherlock and Watson--the detective duo to be reckoned
with. In the entertaining short-story collection L.A. Math,
freelance investigator Freddy Carmichael and his sidekick, Pete
Lennox, show how math smarts can crack even the most perplexing
cases. Freddy meets colorful personalities throughout Los Angeles
and encounters mysterious circumstances from embezzlement and
robbery to murder. In each story, Freddy's deductive instincts--and
Pete's trusty math skills--solve the crime. Featuring such
glamorous locales as Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Malibu, and Santa
Barbara, the fourteen short stories in L.A. Math take Freddy and
Pete through various puzzles and challenges. In "A Change of
Scene," Freddy has to figure out who is selling corporate secrets
to a competitor--so he uses mathematical logic to uncover the
culprit. In "The Winning Streak," conditional probability turns the
tables on an unscrupulous bookie. And in "Message from a Corpse,"
the murderer of a wealthy widow is revealed through the rules of
compound interest. It's everything you expect from the City of
Angels--A-listers and wannabes, lovers and lawyers, heroes and
villains. Readers will not only be entertained, but also gain
practical mathematics knowledge, ranging from percentages and
probability to set theory, statistics, and the mathematics of
elections. For those who want to delve into mathematical subjects
further, the book includes a supplementary section with more
material. Filled with intriguing stories, L.A. Math is a treat for
lovers of romance, crime, or mathematics.
