Mathematics Specialized Middle School 3
Description
Book Introduction
■ A complete math novel that catches two birds with one stone: fun and knowledge.
The Mathematics Specialized Middle School Series is finally complete!
I was able to keep up with math in elementary school.
But why does math become a boring and dull subject once you get to middle school? One math textbook developer explained, "Most students fail to connect the concepts they learned in elementary school to middle school, revisiting them as if they were seeing them for the first time. As a result, as they advance in grade level, the number of concepts they have to study increases, making them feel overwhelmed and ultimately giving up on math."
The teaching methods that prevent students from feeling the connection between math and real life and the education system that divides children into humanities and science subjects at an early age are turning Korea into a country of math dropouts.
It is not easy to escape the math swamp with a math education method that focuses only on problem solving, as if only left-brained people are expected to follow.

Into the book
The neatly made bed and the desk with simple writing utensils were a blue realm.
Parang, who was working on her English workbook, checked the time and got up from her seat.
Roommate Insoo, who sensed the presence, turned towards Parang.
“Did you hear that story? The kid in class 1 saw a ghost.”
Ghost
“Why is there an unused container warehouse behind Konkuk University?
In front of it.”
“Where is the ghost?”
Blue didn't believe in ghosts.
Even if there were, it seemed a bit strange to be afraid of a ghost that was invisible and harmless.
“They say the reason the science high school was closed before was because of ghosts.”
Although Insu continued to make a fuss, Blue prepared to leave indifferently.
“Where are you going?”
“In the club room.”
“You guys, get ready for the festival too.”
"no.
We have no plans.
“We opened a student bulletin board on our website today, so come and check it out.”
“Ah, it’s today.
I'll go in and check later.
And I have a question….”
“Math? I’ll look at it when I get back.”
“No, it’s not a math problem.
“It’s true that Park Tae-soo and Heo Ran-hee have reunited.”
Insu's eyes sparkled.
"no."
"Really not"
Although Blue firmly denied it, Insu asked again.
"huh.
no."
“Oh, what a pity.
I bet on a reunion.”
“I bet”
Blue's brow furrowed.
But Insu continued speaking without noticing.
"huh.
We made a bet among the kids in my class.
It's a shame.
“Isn’t there even a slight possibility?”
--- p.47~48
The children crossed the school to go to the cafeteria.
As Arum followed the children, she discovered a woman loitering around the back door.
Arami tilted her head, looking at the woman.
“Who is it? Why do I feel like I know you?”
As Arami muttered, Noeul looked at her a little more carefully.
“She’s the woman who was with Teacher Ryu Geon last time.
“Lamborghini.”
Noeul recognized the woman at once.
To be exact, I recognized the Lamborghini parked behind the woman.
“That woman is Lamborghini?”
Ranhee, who wasn't there at the time, stared at her and asked.
Then Arami nodded.
"huh.
“Did you come to see Teacher Ryu Geon again today?”
The children, unable to hide their curiosity, slowly moved towards the woman.
The school strictly controlled the entry of outsiders.
The woman who was standing in front of the back door, unable to enter, noticed the children and came as close as possible.
“Hey guys.”
"yes."
“Are you by any chance Mr. Ryu Geon?”
At the woman's question, Noeul took a step forward.
“He’s our club teacher.”
"Well then, can you tell me that my friend is waiting for me at the back door?
If you say Jeong Hye-yeon, you'll know."
At that moment, playfulness began to overflow on Ranhee's expression.
--- p.80~81
The school was deserted after class.
Only a few children remained in the playground and library, spending their time quietly.
The sight even looked peaceful.
But in one place, the computer club room, a sharp atmosphere prevailed.
In a space where there were always four, there were only three.
The children all looked anxious.
Last night, Arami disappeared.
With Ryu Geon.
“Was it the work of those guys who were at the convention center last time?”
Ranhee's lips trembled as she wandered around the club room, fidgeting.
Her eyes were swollen from crying so much.
Noeul, who was watching Ranhee moving around busily, opened her mouth.
“Zero will be right.”
"zero"
“I’m talking about the men who were at the convention center.
“The name of that group is Zero.”
“You know something more, don’t you? Tell me everything you know.”
Noel immediately began to release information.
“Simply put, Zero is a place to buy and sell information.
Collect information using a program called CC.
The person who created that CC is Mr. Ryu Geon.
For some reason, CC was unfinished.
You threatened Teacher Ryu Geon at the competition venue.
“I guess it was to complete that program.”
“What kind of hostage-taking is that, even kidnapping!”
Ranhee screamed.
“CC is not just a simple hacking program.
CC's copies are spread all over the internet.
What was once one infected computer quickly becomes two, and that infected computer then infects another computer.
Until recently, 90% of electronic devices based on computer systems around the world were infected with CC.
And the information on the infected electronic device can be accessed by Zero.”

Publisher's Review
■ A complete math novel that catches two birds with one stone: fun and knowledge.

I was able to keep up with math in elementary school.
But why does math become a boring and dull subject once you get to middle school? One math textbook developer explained, "Most students fail to connect the concepts they learned in elementary school to middle school, revisiting them as if they were seeing them for the first time. As a result, as they advance in grade level, the number of concepts they have to study increases, making them feel overwhelmed and ultimately giving up on math."
The teaching methods that prevent students from feeling the connection between math and real life and the education system that divides children into humanities and science subjects at an early age are turning Korea into a country of math dropouts.
It is not easy to escape the math swamp with a math education method that focuses only on problem solving, as if only left-brained people are expected to follow.
The "Mathematics Specialized Middle School" series was planned with a heart full of regret for this dire situation.
The goal of this book is to help teenagers reconcile with math while actually reading it and having fun, rather than using the traditional, clichéd storytelling method.
A KAIST engineering student and a novelist met and, after three years of preparation, created an advanced form of storytelling mathematics.
This series began with the publication of Volume 1 of “Mathematics Specialized Middle School” in December 2015, and was completed with Volume 3 in July 2016.
《Mathematics Specialized Middle School》 breaks away from desk-bound mathematics and helps readers naturally discover the mathematical principles hidden within the novel as they move and solve problems alongside the characters.
Through this process, you will encounter everyday mathematics rather than the mathematics in textbooks and naturally learn the necessity of mathematics.
Mathematics education experts advise parents to foster their children's ability to connect everyday life events to mathematics and to foster interest and self-directed learning.
The most important thing to achieve this is ‘motivation’.
Motivation and interest in math begin not through academies or workbooks, but through healthy empathy that connects to children's daily lives.
In that sense, "Mathematics Specialized Middle School" will serve as a practical and interesting guideline for current middle school students and especially for upper elementary school students who want to prepare for middle school mathematics in advance, and will also serve as a good guidebook for teachers preparing for the free semester system.
■ The perfect adventure of children who set out to find Zero
In Volume 3, as befitting a complete edition, it covers the 'unsolved case from 10 years ago' in detail, providing heart-pounding tension and spectacular content.
Moreover, the process in which teenagers muster up the courage to directly confront, ponder, and solve problems leaves a deep impression, to the point that it could be called a mathematical coming-of-age novel.
The combination of story and mathematical knowledge is also natural and solid.
Many math novels fail to satisfy readers because they focus on either the story or the mathematical knowledge.
This probably means that it is not easy to properly connect the two.
However, “Mathematics Specialized Middle School” has excellently solved this dilemma.
■ The best math novel written by a KAIST brainy guy and a novelist
Author Lee Yun-won, who planned this book and was in charge of the mathematics section, graduated from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at KAIST.
After graduation, I was accepted to graduate school at KAIST and Seoul National University, but I boldly gave up on entering graduate school because I wanted to jump into something unique and unconventional that no one else had done.
After thinking about ways to share what I've learned with others, I decided to create a unique genre of content that would allow people to experience the joy and excitement of learning.
《Mathematics Specialized Middle School》 is the first result and was published in three volumes.
Author Kim Joo-hee, who was in charge of the story, is currently solidifying her position in the world of serialized novels on Naver.
Through this book, author Kim Joo-hee created characters so charming and lively that they could immediately form fan clubs.
Comical, romantic, and mysterious events unfold without pause around them.
The tight and captivating story development, with its strange love triangle, the competitive nature of middle school students, and mysterious incidents that will make you explode with curiosity, is enough to capture the hearts of teenagers.
It faithfully reflects the middle school mathematics curriculum, from prime factorization to magic squares, Fibonacci sequences, and equations, within a solid novel line, making it a good guide not only for current middle school students but also for prospective middle school students who want to experience middle school mathematics in advance.
The mathematical knowledge presented in this book is not one-sidedly taught, but rather is explained step-by-step, focusing on principles from the learner's perspective, so anyone can read it comfortably and without burden.
The illustrator also plays a large part in bringing this book to life.
Noxi, an illustrator who is gaining popularity among the younger generation for her vivid game characters and sophisticated illustrations, has depicted the main characters in a delicate and accurate manner.
The best mathematical novel that satisfies not only the mind but also the heart and eyes has been born.
Recommended reviews
A fresh attempt, good planning, and a decent result.
It's amazing that a proper novel can be created with mathematics.
Aladdin director Ang
Thanks to its solid story structure, distinctive characters, and its novel-style approach to the difficult subject of 'mathematics', it is no exaggeration to classify it as an educational book.
The idea of writing a book that connects middle school math curriculum with a novel is truly brilliant.
The content isn't too heavy and the math problems aren't too difficult, so I'd recommend it to middle school students who are new to math. (Yes24) kjh3796
A book that my daughter, who is entering middle school this year, fell in love with.
My daughter's reaction was explosive.
He started reading it as soon as he saw it, read it over and over again, and now he's begging me to buy him the entire collection. "Aladdin" ranlee74
As I read, I felt like I was reading a comic book.
The story was so interesting that I thought I would apply if a math-specialized middle school were to be established.
I would like to recommend this to my juniors and peers who are about to enter middle school.
I hope this book will be an opportunity to bridge the gap between mathematics and science.
_Daewon International Middle School Student Council President Kim Dong-woo
What a wonderful math novel! Mathematical concepts were so seamlessly integrated into the story that I couldn't put the book down.
It was exciting and fun, like reading a mystery novel.
As I solved problems with the characters in the book, I felt like I had become a math genius.
I'm already looking forward to volume 2!

This book breaks down the wall between novels and textbooks, between fun and learning.
The exciting story and natural flow of mathematical knowledge made me feel like I was the main character in the book, and I was immersed in it the entire time I was reading.
I highly recommend this book to students who have an aversion to or fear of math, students who like math, and prospective or current middle school students.

A book that fits perfectly into the storytelling curriculum has been published.
Moreover, it is excellent for explaining how closely mathematics is related to life.
Through this book, upper elementary and middle school students can experience middle school mathematics in an easy and fun way, and teachers can find new material for storytelling.
