Math cats scratching the surface of mathematical concepts
"Math + cats = an infinitely more entertaining exploration of the concepts and principles that are the foundation of our understanding of mathematics. All cats are cute, but only some are acute. Others are obtuse (no offense) and more are always right (and never let you forget it), as you'll learn b...

| 520 | |a "Math + cats = an infinitely more entertaining exploration of the concepts and principles that are the foundation of our understanding of mathematics. All cats are cute, but only some are acute. Others are obtuse (no offense) and more are always right (and never let you forget it), as you'll learn by exploring how kitties represent different types of angles. And when they curl out for a mid-day catnap, they perfectly represent the concept of a golden spiral. And when they squeeze into too small boxes or balls, they're providing a geometric lesson in topological equivalence. In Math Cats, mathematician and professor Daniel Look, along with a clowder of his feline friends, reveals the charming connections between mathematics and cats with 22 fun and fur-filled lessons. Packed with illustrations to guide the lessons, this collection of proofs, theorems, and formulas is equal parts delightful and educational, and perfectly sized for your own cat to knock off our bookshelf"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
