From the Writer

WELCOME TO THE SECRET WORLD OF MATHEMATICIANS.

That is your introduction to the attractive, thrilling, lovely math that solely professionals see. What’s actually astounding is that it’s accessible, even for youths ages six to 10. We predict that if extra youngsters had an opportunity to play with a wider world of math, there can be much more math fanatics on the earth. Most individuals suppose you be taught math by climbing a kind of ladder: first addition, then subtraction, then multiplication, then fractions, and so forth. In truth, math is far more like a tree. There are a lot of totally different areas of math that require solely a primary basis. Loads of this beautiful and woefully ignored math doesn’t require any earlier data. It’s accessible to everybody, in the event that they solely knew it existed.

GEOMETRY

Geometry is the research of shapes. There are a whole lot of alternative ways a form may be. It may be flat (like a circle or a sq.) with two dimensions—size and width. It may be stable (like a block or a ball) with three dimensions size, width, and peak. A form may be created from strains linked at corners (mathematicians name these edges and vertices; we’ll be taught extra about these in chapter 6), or it may be made up of curves. A form can have totally different numbers of edges and corners, or a distinct association of curves from one other form. A form can have totally different sizes.

TOPOLOGY

Topology is certainly one of some ways to review shapes. In topology, you may deform, or change, a form in sure methods—by stretching, bulging, or squeezing—with out turning it into a distinct form. Nonetheless, the principles of topology say you may’t glue a form to itself or poke a gap in it, as a result of if you happen to do this, you’ve created a brand new form. Topologists research these changeable shapes to discover what different properties of a form are nonetheless necessary.

COLOR MAPS LIKE A MATHEMATICIAN

Whenever you coloration a map, you’re most likely most desirous about making it lovely. When mathematicians discuss coloring a map, they’re attempting to determine the fewest variety of colours they will use in order that no touching areas are the identical coloration. Usually, the “map” just isn’t of a spot—it is a image with numerous areas to paint. Mathematicians research map coloring to find out about effectivity and battle decision. At this time, one necessary software of map coloring is for cellular phone frequencies.

STITCHING CURVES

Typically equations are too onerous to unravel, even for professionals! For these issues, folks invent strategies which might be straightforward to compute and that approximate (come near) the answer. This department of arithmetic known as Numerical Evaluation.These numerical algorithms are normally carried out on a pc, and by doing extra calculations you may make your approximate resolution nearly as good as you want. Curve stitching is a option to approximate a curve by drawing solely straight strains, with none computation wanted. The nearer you draw the strains collectively, the higher the approximation to the curve you make. We are able to use the identical approach to make a wide range of curves and shapes that may be changed into lovely artwork.

FANTASTIC FRACTALS

A fractal is a form that’s just like itself regardless of how far you zoom in on one explicit half. Fractals happen in nature, such as in ice crystals freezing on a window. They’re fascinating to mathematicians and scientists as a part of Chaos Idea and the research of patterns present in nature the place components are just like the entire. For instance, have a look at the ferns on the precise. Discover how the blue department of the fern seems like a smaller copy of the inexperienced fern, and the purple portion of the fern has a really comparable form to each the entire inexperienced fern and the blue department. Understanding fractals has helped analysis within the inventory market, fluids, astronomy, and climate. Fractals are additionally fascinating to artists just because they’re lovely.

GRAPH THEORY

Graph Idea is the research of how issues are interconnected. This contains how computer systems are linked to one another in your home and on the Web, the best way to effectively place energy vegetation to supply electrical energy in cities, the perfect places to place quick meals eating places in order that nobody is just too removed from their favourite junk meals, the best way to plan airplane flight paths, and extra.
