| Summary, etc | "Following up on their previous book, U.S.A. Through the Lens of Mathematics, the authors offer interesting information about all countries in the world, their history, geography, language, culture, and resources presented in the form of mathematical problems. The problems are combined in sections based on related mathematical concepts, including systems of linear algebraic equations, extremum of a function, sequencies, logical problems, and others. This fascinating book exposes students to a novel educational strategy that aims to overcome fear of mathematics, reduce mathematical anxiety, and show the applicability of mathematics to everyday life and events. The book offers interesting information about all countries in the world, their history, geography, language, culture, and resources are presented in the form of mathematical problems. The problems are combined in sections based on related mathematical concepts, including systems of linear algebraic equations, extremum of a function, sequencies, logical problems, and others. Each problem starts with a brief narrative to introduce its applied content with intriguing facts. The answer key, followed by very detailed solutions accompanying each problem. This unique book aims to shatter the barrier between students and this mathematics by encouraging students to look at mathematics from a different perspective, build a bridge between their surroundings and mathematics and, at the same time, enriches them with new knowledge of culture, history, customs, and geography"-- |
