 Kyle D Evans, "Maths Tricks to Blow Your Mind: A Journey Through Viral Maths" English | ISBN: 1838953663 | 2022 | 224 pages | MOBI | 2 MB From the infamous 'Hannah's sweets' exam question to percentages 'life-hacks', viral math problems seem to capture the public's imagination without fail. This is often because they blow people's minds with their logic, or there are multiple answers, or no answer or at all, or they are just generally wacky. The same people who will openly celebrate that they 'never got math' will fight tooth and nail with their Auntie on Facebook over whether the answer to 60 + 60 x 0 + 1 is 61 or 1 (it's 61, by the way.). Why do friends and relatives who would glaze over in a math lesson pile into a discussion with strangers on social media over why the grey elephant comes from Denmark? Math teacher and award-winning science communicator Kyle D Evans wants to explore exactly what it is about viral social media puzzles that is so appealing. Maths Tricks to Blow Your Mind  Mark White, "Mathematics Methods Units 1&2 for Western Australia" English | ISBN: 1009259261 | 2022 | 732 pages | PDF | 15 MB Cambridge Senior Mathematics for Western Australia has been developed to cover the Mathematics Essential, Applications, Methods and Specialist courses. It combines a proven teaching and learning formula with exceptional exam preparation support and innovative digital capabilities to lead students to success. Mathematics Methods Units 1&2 is a new edition that has been carefully written to prepare students for success in the Mathematics Methods Units 1&2 ATAR course. New sections have been added to several chapters and some optional material has been trimmed to make the coverage of the Mathematics Methods Units 1&2 syllabus clearer for teachers and students. The Interactive Textbook - complimentary with purchase of the print book - has been updated with a number of new features, and the Online Teaching Suite has been expanded to give teachers even more support.  Titu Andreescu, "Mathematical Olympiads 1999-2000: Problems and Solutions from Around the World " English | ISBN: 0883858053 | 2002 | 336 pages | MOBI | 458 KB Contained here are solutions to challenging problems from algebra, geometry, combinatorics and number theory featured in the earlier book, together with selected questions (without solutions) from national and regional Olympiads given during the year 2000. Intended for the serious student/problem solver, these books can help to improve performance in the Mathematical Olympiad competition. However, for those not entering the competition, there is much to challenge any mathematician, even those with advanced degrees. Different nations have different mathematical cultures, so you will find that some of the questions are extremely difficult and some rather easy. There are a wide variety of problems especially from those countries that have often done well in the IMO. Anyone interested in mathematical problem solving will encounter some beautiful mathematics in the pages of this book. If you are up to a real challenge, take some of these problems on!

Underwood Dudley, "Mathematical Cranks " English | ISBN: 0883855070 | 1996 | 383 pages | EPUB | 324 KB A delightful collection of articles about people who claim they have achieved the mathematically impossible (squaring the circle, duplicating the cube); people who think they have done something they have not (proving Fermat's Last Theorem); people who pray in matrices; people who find the American Revolution ruled by the number 57; people who have in common eccentric mathematical views, some mild (thinking we should count by 12s instead of 10s), some bizarre (thinking that second-order differential equations will solve all problems of economics, politics and philosophy). This is a truly unique book. It is written with wit and style and is a part of folk mathematics.

Mary Tudor was the first female English sovereign - a ruling queen who was not simply the consort of the king. Yet little is known about this complex woman, whose reputation for ruthlessness belied her emotional fragility and who, like her half-sister Elizabeth, had to survive from childhood in the turbulent Tudor court. David Loades explores the twisting path whereby Princess Mary, daughter of a rejected wife, Catherine of Aragon, and a capricious father - Henry VIII - endured disfavour, personal crisis and house arrest to emerge as Queen of England with huge popular support. The high promise of her reign contrasts with the personal tragedies and disappointments that followed, from the Smithfield burnings and the loss of Calais to her doomed, loveless marriage to Philip of Spain. Loades' probing yet sympathetic account reveals an intriguing personality, impelled by deep-set beliefs and principles yet uncertain how to behave in a 'man's' role. |
