Review: Fear No Numbers
Fear no numbers by
Jose Paul Moretto is a quick read that can be of benefit to both math
students and teachers. Although the book is short, only 33 pages or
48 if you include the preface and introduction, you will find
yourself going over and over the pages to gleam all the knowledge
contained within.
While
Mr. Moretto's book may not hold the cure to all math phobias, the
information held within its pages will relieve many anxieties. The
main focus, of this helpful book, are the two theorem known as the
proof of 9 system and
the maXima system that
can be used to check the answer of any multiplication or division
problem. Some of the other information that can be gleamed out of
this magnificent book includes a magical property of 9 that was first
discovered by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician
Pythagoras.
The
best thing Mr. Moretto does in his book is that after explaining
these theorem he gives you problems so that you may apply what you
have learned. By the time you do the practice problem you should
easily use the maXima system to
quickly check any multiplication or division answers.
I
would recommend this book not only for those currently in school or
teaching math but to everyone that uses math in their daily lives.

Review: Creedor by Gail Morgan McRae
With wizards, an epidemic, a political
coup and mysterious invaders Creedor by Gail Morgan McRae is a
science fiction fantasy that has something for everyone. This first
book in his reglon empire series start out with a bang, or more
literally a pop, as we are introduced to Rax the subspace rider. From
that start the book moves quickly as we meet the movers and shakers
of the empire. Soon we get involved in a plot to seize control of the
empire that involves murder, a struggle and unlawful imprisonment.
Then the table is set as we are brought into the inter-workings of
the new regime. With stage set we meet our man of destiny that will
reluctantly play a big role in saving the empire. You will quickly be
glue to the book as you follow Simon Slogar as he leaves the confines
on his home further the accumulation of knowledge that will put him
on the path to his destiny. Soon you will be on a roller-coaster ride
as you travel with him on high and lows.
One thing that Mr. McRae does well in
his book is that he gives story direction while still leaving you
with that cliffhanging ending that makes you anticipate the next book
in the series. Unfortunately, that is also the one bad thing is that
it that the author is going in too many direction and tie-in can get
lost that can turn off some readers.
While the format of the e-book version
looked fine on my Kindle Fire it look much more professional when an
reader app on my laptop.
Overall I would recommend this book to
anyone who is a fan of fiction, fantasy or just a good adventure.
