Description

Many students find mathematics a daunting subject. Yet, in this unorthodox textbook, Liu brings a whole new clarity to arithmetic, making it a perfect resource for any budding teacher. With everyday language, even for formal proofs, students are carried along an accessible mathematical adventure by characters from the well-loved novels Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. At the same time, the book's prime focus on arithmetic allows the exploration of often uncovered topics, such as the concepts of divisibility and congruence as well as Diophantine equations. In eight chapters, Liu covers a range of topics from basic arithmetic to the Euclidean algorithm. Each chapter also includes a wealth of exercises catering to students of every level. As Liu has been noted for his 'unique ability to present difficult concepts in a clear and logical manner', Arithmetical Wonderland is an essential classroom resource.
