When the schools in Jeremys town ban math, there are loud cheers from the kids. Even his teachers happily toss their textbooks. But Jeremys best friend Sam, a selfproclaimed mathnik, sets out to prove that math is not only important, but fun. In the chapters that follow, Sam reveals maths presence in everyday places, including sports (types of triangles determine how a bike functions), art (artist M.C. Escher combined math patterns with imagination), even in nature (ants instinctively calculate dead reckoninga navigation tool also used by astronauts). Meanwhile, surprising sidebars offer Jeremys thoughts on weird concepts from chaos theory to cash prizes for new prime numbers. In the end, Jeremy, his teachers, and even the Director of Education have to admit that school minus math equals all sorts of trouble. Complete with dozens of amusing reallife math examples, brief bios of seven famous mathematicians, and fun illustrations and diagrams, this innovative introduction to all things arithmetic will win over even the most mathphobic readers.
