The Little Book of Mathematical Principles, Theories, & Things (IMM Lifestyle Books) Over 120 Laws, Principles, Equations, Paradoxes, and Theorems Explained Simply; Easy to Understand Math Reference

Covers much of the content that one would find in their A-Level syllabus. Brilliantly written, and a great purchase.

Lots of things I didn’t know. Now I can talk informative and appear more interesting than I am.

A great little book full of useful information.

Very good explanation.

Everything is interesting, but the selection of topics is questionable, e.g. it includes relativity (physics) but not matrices (basic mathematics). Nevertheless, there is still plenty of mathematics. It is a nice little book that you can open anywhere to read a new topic whenever you have a spare few minutes.

This is a very nice super light reading book, it should be in everybody’s personal library!

This is a great reference for all of the great mathematical concepts you may or may not have ever heard about or known you have any interest in. And they are all shared in easy to understand snippets laid out in historical context and with a clear explanation of some easily relatable modern applications.If you don’t need a reference book of mathematics, read it anyway. You don’t have to understand the equations or even pay attention to the notations. And the author puts it all in the context of the world we live in. (Mathematics is at the heart of what you are doing right now.)Few people do understand the real place of mathematics in the modern world. It’s behind almost everything we do – computers, navigation, astronomy, etc. But it’s not all-inclusive. Not all mathematical problems have even been solved. Some never will be. And while we think of mathematics as being very precise, it often isn’t. It may simply give us answers that are close enough for the questions we need to be answered.Mathematics is just another facet of science, reason, and philosophy. It’s at the heart of all of the technology that now manages our lives. It seems prudent, therefore, to have at least a superficial understanding of what it is and isn’t, and how it came to be.

Awesome! Just enough info to make you understand the concept, just enough Info to make you curious.

I bought this for my son. A number of topics I know well and from those I saw that the description was not useful about what the subject is about. I don't think you'd learn much about the topics but maybe just enough to spark interest to find info elsewhere.

An incredibly sweet little book with shot descriptions of each mathematical concept.
