Maths and humour : solving everyday problems with mathematics / by Glaeser, Georg,author.(CARDINAL)821151; Roskar, Markus,author,illustrator.;
The artist Markus Roskar and Professor of Mathematics, Georg Glaeser, (who both teach at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna) have written a mathematics book of the other kind. In this book, mathematics sheds its image as an inaccessible, cumbersome science, and acquires an open and emotional dimension. The book is structured on the double-page principle: each double page includes an almost always humorous professional drawing that relates to the text on the other page. This text is written in an easy-going, often humorous, but always mathematically correct manner. It mostly deals with an everyday subject that has a mathematical background or an unorthodox mathematical question. Readers can count on a wealth of surprising solutions to often complex problems.

Arithmetic : the foundation of mathematics / by Gladle, Garrett,editor.(CARDINAL)407547;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 68-69) and index.Arithmetic factors into our lives on a daily basis, so it's hard to imagine a world without the six basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to powers, and finding roots. Readers will get a solid overview of arithmetic, while offering useful examples of how they are used in routine activities, such as social media applications. It reinforces Common Core math standards, including understanding basic math concepts and how they apply to students' daily lives and challenges. A history of arithmetic helps provide a contextual framework for the course of its development and the practical needs that drove its use.
