“Now I really understand math.”
In the AI era, the foundation of a future that is unpredictable is the foundation of lifelong math stamina.
“The book I wish I had given myself as a child” - Highly recommended by Professor Namgung In, Department of Emergency Medicine!
The mathematics section of the "Science with Pictures" series recommended by Professor Kwak Jae-sik
The new books in the "Science with Pictures" series, which have captivated everyone from middle school students to adults seeking to develop their scientific knowledge, "Study Math While You're at It: Algebra" and "Study Math While You're at It: Geometry," have finally been published.
『Study Math While You're at It: Algebra』 is a book that explains the core concepts of algebra, the most basic subject in mathematics, through illustrations.
By compressing numerous texts into a single image and providing simple and concise explanations of the essentials, you can quickly and easily memorize the algebra concepts you've always wanted to know without losing focus.
Organizing concepts into pictures not only allows you to understand them quickly and accurately, but also makes them less likely to be forgotten.
'Science with Pictures' is a series that emerged from a shift in approach to studying science through pictures rather than text.
More than half of the population is said to be visual learners who learn through pictures rather than text, and math and science are particularly effective subjects for visual learning.
Anyone who has ever despaired of studying science and math by reading, listening, and solving problems, or who has felt like they have no math acumen, will discover a new world with this series.
It is also famous as a book that has helped people with adult ADHD and concentration problems.
High-quality infographics using vivid colors, layouts that guide the flow of the eye according to importance, and short, friendly, one-point explanations are designed to help users find the information they need without giving them time to lose focus.
If you're someone who can't stand not having your attention robbed and can't stand not getting the information you need within 10 seconds, there's no better math book than this one.
It contains a selection of essential concepts, from the most basic of basics such as natural numbers and decimals to bases, sequences, functions and algorithms, statistics, sets, vectors, mathematical logic, and even discrete mathematics and linear algebra.
With just this one book, you can not only summarize the core algebra covered in middle and high school curricula, but also prepare well for college major studies.
Namgung In, a professor of emergency medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, said this book is the one he'd give to his younger self, who longed for a glimpse into another world. "Picture books are not just a one-time read; they have a charm that keeps you coming back for more," he said, praising the details in them, which linger in the memory. In a world of unpredictable change, including the rapid advancement of AI, living without a grasp of mathematics is a grave disadvantage.
Since we were born into a world that revolves around math and code, let's live as someone who knows math.

Into the book
Algebra is a major branch of mathematics.
It is a field that supports various topics and concepts in mathematics, allowing us to describe numerical information, geometric shapes, mathematical relationships, and abstract structures.
Algebra deals with techniques for representing relationships between objects, and can also be broadly used to define symbols and systems of reasoning.
--- p.8
For many people, algebra is just mathematics that uses letters, either with or instead of numbers.
But the power of this method has made algebra an important tool for understanding mathematics.
The underlying principle of all algebra is to express complex concepts more simply.
--- p.8
Numbers are central to mathematical thinking.
It supports numerous mathematical concepts and is inseparable from mathematics as a subject.
From basic counting that we all learn as children to decimals, fractions, and even more mysterious numbers like pi (π), numbers help us describe and understand the universe.
--- p.10
Square numbers follow an interesting pattern.
Look at the digits of the ones.
You can already see some patterns.
Square numbers always end in 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 0.
There are no square numbers ending in 2, 3, 7, or 8.
If a number ends in 1, its square also ends in 1.
The final digits of the squares follow a set pattern, depending on the number of 1's in each digit.
--- p.45
In mathematics, the term 'algebra' refers to anything involving equations with unknown variables, as we have seen so far in this book.
However, algebra is also used in areas of mathematics that deal with more complex and abstract mathematical structures.
Linear algebra extends the ordinary equations we know to larger systems, while abstract algebra deals with structures such as groups involving permutations and modular arithmetic.

Publisher's Review
A world returning to mathematics,
If you're going to do it, try to become someone who knows math.
Mathematics is the foundation of new technologies, including AI.
We live in a world that revolves around mathematics.
That's why mathematical literacy is more important than ever.
Just having a basic mathematical foundation will allow you to see the world in a much more logical way and deal more easily with future uncertainties.
But haven't you ever tried to study math, only to be discouraged by the tedium of problem-solving, and given up on unfamiliar terminology, concepts, and formulas that were difficult to understand? This is because you've left behind a "hole in your knowledge" due to missing fundamental concepts.
In mathematics, you need to have a solid understanding of the basic principles to advance to higher levels without giving up.
"Study Math While You're at It: Algebra" contains all the basic information and tools you need to explore the world of algebra.
All it takes is a little curiosity and the thought, “Since I’m born, why not learn math?”
Because math has to be studied through pictures!
Mind maps, flowcharts, and high-quality infographics
A completely new math book for visual learners
Do you ever organize your learning by taking notes or drawing pictures in your head? More than half of the population are visual learners, learning more effectively from visual aids like diagrams, pictures, and videos than from text or audio.
It is said that many people who excel in science and engineering fields are visual learners.
'Science with Pictures' is a series developed by Barron's, a renowned American educational book company, to enable 'visual learners' of all ages to study science on their own.
It features refreshing illustrations and clear explanations from expert professors.
Just by focusing on pictures instead of text, learning efficiency is noticeably improved.
Because dozens of lines of text are compressed into a single image, understanding the concept becomes faster, and because the screen is stored in the mind like taking a screenshot, it is not easily forgotten.
This series is known to be particularly suitable for adults who have trouble concentrating, or for teenagers who have a good understanding but find it difficult to study seriously.
First of all, it contains only the most important mathematical information among numerous mathematical information, and it is designed to naturally draw attention to the core with refreshing infographics.
The examples are familiar from everyday life, and the explanations are short, friendly, and clear.
『Study Math While You're at It: Algebra』 is a book from the 'Science with Pictures' series that collects the main concepts of 'algebra', which expresses and applies rules and relationships using numbers, letters, and symbols.
Since almost all subfields of mathematics are based on algebra, algebra can be said to be the foundation of all mathematics.
We have carefully selected and organized the essential algebraic concepts, from the basics of counting and operations to dynamics, discrete mathematics, and linear algebra.
From elementary school students to adults,
So that everyone can enjoy math
"Study Math While You're at It: Algebra" is a book for everyone who admires mathematics and wants to become familiar with it.
From elementary school students who are finishing elementary school math and preparing for middle school math centered on algebra and geometry, middle and high school students who want to solidify math concepts before preparing for the college entrance exam, students who dream of going into science and engineering, and adults who liked math in the past but haven't looked back for a long time and want to start studying from the basics again, algebra is explained using simple and intuitive expressions and everyday materials such as baking and puzzles so that anyone can easily understand.
Starting with "What is a 'number'?", it builds the foundation with arithmetic and number patterns, then selects major topics such as algorithms and functions, graphs and data, logic and proof, dynamics, and discrete mathematics, and organizes the core concepts for each topic into 1-4 pages.
No matter which page you open, the exciting world of mathematics unfolds before you.
At the end of each chapter, the content covered in that chapter is summarized in the form of a mind map.
It guides you through the relationship between individual concepts and terms and helps you draw the big picture of 'algebra'.
It's a good book to read from the beginning, but it's also a good book to keep on a corner of your desk and refer to whenever you get stuck while studying or whenever you have a question while watching a science documentary or YouTube video.
Just looking at the paintings without the burden of studying provides a sense of intellectual stimulation.
