A Crucial Moment in Math for Today's Youth
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Looking at history, mathematics is this exciting?
From the birth of numbers and geometry to modern mathematics
Let's go to the fun and special world of mathematics!
Mathematics is an inseparable subject from our lives, but for many people, it still feels like a high wall.
Memories of my school days, filled with tests and grades, made me perceive mathematics as a mere problem-solving tool, and this became a veil that obscured its true value.
"A Decisive Moment in Mathematics" breaks these prejudices and allows us to look at mathematics in a new historical context.
This book vividly shows how mathematics has developed based on human curiosity and needs.
From geometry for pyramid building, number systems for calendars, to trigonometry for observing constellations, mathematics has always been a tool for solving practical problems for humanity.
From the ancient Babylonian numeral system to the innovative concepts of modern mathematics, this fascinating journey through the history of mathematics will reveal that mathematics is not simply calculation, but the foundation of human civilization.
From the smartphones we use every day to weather forecasting, mathematics plays a central role in every area of modern society.

Publisher's Review
Mathematics that developed along with history
Beyond simple formulas and problem-solving, this book illuminates key moments in mathematics that have grown alongside human civilization.
The Babylonian sexagesimal system, which is still used as a unit of time and angles today, the shock and repercussions when the Pythagoreans discovered irrational numbers, the Arab decimal system and the concept of zero that brought about revolutionary changes in medieval Europe, and even the discovery of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.
These historical moments vividly demonstrate how deeply mathematics has shaped human thought and the development of civilization.
Intuitive understanding of mathematics
The greatest appeal of this book is that it explains complex mathematical concepts in easy-to-understand everyday language.
We approach the essence of mathematics through fascinating stories, such as what limitations modern science and technology would have faced without logarithms, and how calculus was born from the competition between two genius mathematicians.
Through this, readers learn that mathematics, which was perceived as difficult, was actually developed to solve real-world problems for humanity.
Broadening your horizons with mathematics
"The Decisive Moment in Mathematics" goes beyond imparting knowledge and awakens the value of mathematical thinking.
It shows how mathematics relates to the real world, including how Cantor's set theory revolutionized modern mathematics and how probability theory became a core field in finance and computer science.
This makes us realize that mathematics permeates every aspect of our lives beyond the classroom.
"Mathematics' Decisive Moment" is a book that reexamines mathematics as a core driving force of human civilization.
By following the footsteps of mathematics throughout history, you will naturally learn mathematical thinking and discover the charm of mathematics.
It will provide a new perspective, especially for young people who have a fear of math.
This book gives wings to logical and creative thinking through mathematics.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the history and future possibilities of mathematics.
With "The Decisive Moment in Mathematics," mathematics will no longer be a difficult and rigid subject, but rather an exciting journey of exploration.
