What is Simply Math (DK Simply) about?
The ancient Greek philosopher Proclus once wrote,“Wherever there is number, there is beauty.” Mathematics,or math, is regarded as beautiful by some and daunting byothers, although its remit stretches far beyond numbers intoareas such as algebra and geometry. Indeed, it is highly likelythat there are whole topics as yet undreamed of. It is difficultto give a simple definition of math, although it is generallyaccepted that its study involves quantities, shapes, and patterns.The vast subject that we encounter today has evolved overthousands of years, from early evidence of tallying found inetched bones, via the invention of the Hindu-Arabic numbersystem, to modern abstract algebra.Math is vitally important, not just in passing tests, but inmany aspects of our everyday lives such as in the supermarketor when decorating a room. Many of us have set ways of workingout a few things, though we do not always have the conceptualunderstanding needed to confidently apply math in a widevariety of situations.This book offers a concise and visual introduction to the bigideas behind the main strands, such as number, measure, andstatistics. It touches on more advanced topics such as calculus,as well
