No Calculator? No Problem! Mastering Mental Math , award-winning professor of mathematics and celebrated “mathemagician” Arthur T. Benjamin delivers 10 fun-filled lessons on how to do math in your head with confidence, accuracy, and speed - sometimes faster than a calculator. By the end of Professor Benjamin’s lessons, you’ll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers faster than ever before. And with your newfound skills, you’ll soon find yourself amazing other people and, perhaps more important, yourself.

An award-winning mathematician—he "made me smile and made me feel clever" (Peter Frankopan)—shows how we prove what’s true, and what to do when we can’t How do we establish what we believe? And how can we be certain that what we believe is true? And how do we convince other people that...

The Mathematics of Patterns and Tessellations Explained: Geometry of Tiles, Symmetry Groups, Quilting Designs, Wallpaper Patterns, and Islamic Geometric Art in Mathematical Practice is a deep exploration of the hidden mathematical structure behind the surfaces that surround us. From tiled floors and quilt blocks to wallpaper design and sacred geometric art, this book reveals how angles, polygons, symmetry transformations, and combinatorics shape the patterns we see every day. If you have ever wondered why certain shapes fit together perfectly while others leave gaps, this comprehensive ...

The Art of the Infinite takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking. Robert and Ellen Kaplan guide us through the “Republic of Numbers,” where we meet both its upstanding citizens and its more shadowy dwellers; and transport us across the plane of geometry into the unlikely realm where parallel lines meet.

The Fibonacci Sequence Explained: Spirals in Nature, Sunflowers, Pinecones, Hurricanes, Seashells, and Classical Architecture Revealed Through Mathematical Growth Patterns explores one of the most fascinating connections between mathematics and the natural world. From the seed patterns of sunflowers to the spiral arms of galaxies, this book reveals how a simple numerical rule creates stunning forms that appear across biology, art, architecture, and design. Written in clear and engaging language, it shows how recursive growth leads to the golden ratio and how that ratio shapes the world ...

The aim of this book is to explain, carefully but not technically, the differences between advanced, research-level mathematics and the sort of mathematics we learn at school. The most fundamental differences are philosophical, and listeners of this book will emerge with a clearer understanding of paradoxical-sounding concepts such as infinity, curved space, and imaginary numbers. The first few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical thought.

A brilliant research mathematician reveals math to be a creative art form on par with painting, poetry, and sculpture, and rejects the standard anxiety-producing teaching methods used in most schools today. Witty and accessible, Paul Lockhart's controversial approach will provoke spirited debate among educators and parents alike, altering the way we think about math forever.

One of the world's great mathematicians shows why math is the ultimate timesaver—and how everyone can make their lives easier with a few simple shortcuts. We are often told that hard work is the key to success. But success isn’t about hard work – it’s about shortcuts. Shortcuts allow...

Math is not only the game of numbers but also the language of nature. As a matter of fact, it has been established through research that the more we understand our universe, the more we discover interesting mathematical connections. For instance, flowers have spirals that are carefully lined up in a special sequence of numbers commonly referred to as Fibonacci numbers. This sequence can be studied, understood, and generated.
