It is no secret that most people avoid mathematics, in large measure
because elementary school teachers have never done much to motivate a
love of the subject matter. In his latest book, mathematician Alfred S.
Posamentier provides easily understandable, easily presentable and
easily replicated tricks that one can do with mathematics. All that is
required is the ability to do arithmetic, understand the very basics of
algebra and geometry and have an open mind for probability. From
geometrical puzzles to numerical quirks, Math Tricks will give readers
that "aha!" moment they may never have received at school.
