Lawyer Dad's Real Math Story
Description
Book Introduction
It's time to change the framework of mathematics.
A must-read for parents on math education
In an era where four out of ten high school freshmen are math dropouts, math is driving children into a state of fear.
Now that math has become all about calculations and memorizing formulas, those who can't keep up are labeled as losers, and the ability to think and enjoy things have disappeared.
But this book shatters that misconception and asks what real math our children should be learning.
The author, who has fought logically in court for over 30 years and is a father of two, sharply points out what is missing in today's math education.
From Plato to Newton, we first examine the history and major trends of mathematics, and then explain difficult concepts verbally, awakening us to the fact that mathematics is a fundamental force that changes our way of thinking and helps us understand the world.
From elementary concepts to middle and high school mathematics, from addition to quadratic functions, throughout the journey, the author asks the reader 'why' rather than encouraging them to memorize formulas.
Instead of formulas or calculations, the course is tightly connected with step-by-step explanations of the concepts' roots, rich illustrations, and intuitive video lectures.
I confidently recommend this book to students who are stuck in math hell and looking for a way out, to parents who want to give their children a proper answer to their question about why they should learn math, and to general readers who want to explore math more deeply.
