But if a language brings people together, why does math make so many of us feel so alone? In Math for English Majors, bestselling author Ben Orlin (Math with Bad Drawings) offers fresh insights for the mathematically perplexed and mathematical masters alike.As Orlin reveals, the "universal language" is precisely that: a language. It has nouns (numbers), verbs (calculations), and grammar (algebra). It has funny idioms ("exponential"), quirky etymologies ("squaring"), and peculiar ambiguities ("PEMDAS"). It even has its own form of literature, with equations ranging from the simple wisdom of A2 + B2 = C2 to the startling profundity of eπi + 1 = 0.Along the way, he shares relatable stories of his own mathematical misunderstandings and epiphanies, as well as the trials and triumphs of his students. And, as always, he sheds further light and levity on the subject with his inept-yet strangely effective-drawings.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Ben OrlinGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Children's Learning & Education, Science Nature & Math, Language & ReferenceItem Width: 32mmItem Weight: 743gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
