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.
