--- From "Starting"

Gulliver's Travels, written by British novelist Jonathan Swift, is a story about the protagonist Gulliver's travels to Lilliput, the land of little people, Brobdingnag, the land of giants, Laputa, the flying island, and Huinum, the land of horses.
The book tells the story of Gulliver's first visit to Lilliput, where he was served enough food for 1,728 Lilliputians in one meal.
It's only natural that Gulliver, larger than the Lilliputians, would eat a lot. But why is it a complex number like 1728, rather than something like 1000 or 10,000? The volume and area in the novel aren't just approximate figures derived from rule of thumb, but rather from precise calculations.
At the time, the duodecimal system was commonly used in England, so the author calculated that Gulliver's height was 12 times that of a Lilliputian.
Let's calculate using the mathematical fact that area increases as a square and volume increases as a cube.
Since the body is a three-dimensional volume, it is 1,728 times the cube of 12.
That is, Gulliver's one meal requires food for 1,728 people in the Land of the Lilliputians.
--- From "12_ Why did Gulliver eat 1,728 servings?"

As the American Civil War (1861-1865) continued, a memorial service was held for the soldiers who lost their lives at Gettysburg, a battleground.
U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, who attended the event, began his speech by comforting the souls of those who died during the war.
It was a famous speech that has long been remembered in history, defining democracy with the concise phrase, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address begins as follows:
“Four scores and seven years ago(…).” In Korean, it would be “4 scores and seven years.”
What on earth does it mean? The English word "score" also means the number 20.
Since President Lincoln's speech was given in 1863, it was an expression referring to the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, 87 (= 4×20+7) years ago.
But why did Lincoln write "four twenties and sevens" instead of "eighty-seven," which is 80 plus seven? Think of a child counting.
You can see them folding their fingers one by one while making the sound 'one, two, three'.
For numbers up to 10, 10 fingers are sufficient, but for larger numbers, take off your socks and use your toes.
Since we can count up to 20 using 10 fingers and 10 toes, 20 is an appropriate number to use as a unit of counting.
--- From "20_ What is the score?"

Publisher's Review
The number chosen by the bee is 6, the number of fingers that became a unit is 10,
The perfect number 28, which relates to life, and 58, which makes the most dazzling diamond…
Everything leads to 'mathematics'?

The humanities of numbers from 0 to 100, containing the stories of all things in the world.


Mathematics is always present everywhere, but we are so intimidated by formulas and equations that we don't fully grasp the mysteries of numbers that surround us.
The number 6 (a regular hexagon) was chosen by bees because it is the number that can create the widest and most stable space, and 28 is deeply related to human life (pregnancy period, menstrual cycle, number of permanent teeth, and the sum of the number of joints on the ten fingers).
The mysteries of mathematics are not limited to nature.
Mathematics has inevitably found its way into every aspect of human civilization, from the 24 video frame rate to the 58 that makes the most dazzling diamonds, to the 74 CD playback time and the 80 of the Pareto principle.

"The Math Book with No Breaks" is a math humanities book that covers all aspects of "mathematics" in the real world, including history, politics, music, literature, economics, and marketing. It is even more special because it covers all natural numbers from 0 to 100 without exception.
Are you curious about the strange multiplication table hidden in the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland"? Want to know why Incheon Airport doesn't have Gate 44, Austrian car license plates don't have the number 88, and Italian airlines don't have seat 17? Want to calculate how long it takes for your wealth to double? Let's count to 100 with this book.
You will have the amazing experience of making the difficult world of mathematics easy and clear.

From Archimedes who shouted 'Eureka'
Even Caprica, a recreational mathematician who sets out to find interesting numbers,
A more interesting story about mathematicians through episodes


In Italy, since ancient Roman times, 17 has been considered an unlucky number symbolizing death.
17 is written as XVII in Roman numerals, but the rearrangement of these letters creates VIXI, which means “my life is over” in Latin.
But for the genius mathematician Gauss, 17 was a number so significant that he wanted to have it engraved on his tombstone to commemorate his greatest achievement.
This is because it was the number that led Gauss to take the path of a mathematician by proving the problem of constructing a regular heptagon, which had not been solved for about 2,000 years since Euclid, using only a straightedge and a compass (from number 17).


Mathematicians who fell in love with the beauty of mathematics devoted their entire lives to uncovering the secrets of numbers.
Thinking about numbers was not limited to time or place.
Archimedes found a way to find out the density of a crown by measuring its volume using buoyancy in a bath (number 41), and Caprica discovered the property that 'the sum of 30 and 25 is 55, and the square of 55 is 3025' by looking at the 3025km milestone that was split in two (number 45).
Ramanujan discovered a 'taxi number' (number 91) that has two or more ways to express a natural number as a cube sum from the taxi number 1729 that Hardy rode in.
The persistent love and passion of mathematicians who sought to discover special laws even in numbers that they happened to see by chance brought many names of mathematics to the world.
There are many different numbers, including those named after mathematicians, such as Pythagorean primes, Euclidean numbers, Caprica numbers, Mersenne numbers, and Leyland numbers, as well as those named after the relationships between numbers, such as happy numbers, friendly numbers, couple numbers, twin primes, taxi numbers, and self-numbers.


‘Pure curiosity about numbers’ has always been the driving force behind the development of mathematics.
How about we begin by cultivating our curiosity with this book, which unfolds the stories of mathematicians through captivating storytelling? It's a golden opportunity to train our mathematician's thinking.
