- Synopsis
-
The book demonstrates how math is integrated into everything from personal finance, to nutrition and exercise, to scheduling. Calculating probability is linked to Powerball and Mega Millions. Modular arithmetic pops up in check digits, clocks and calendars, and personal data.
Students who think they don’t use or need math will gain a greater appreciation of the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden ratio, and Hamiltonian circuits as they see how this “math stuff” can and does play a meaningful and important role in what they do and how they live.
Jack Appreciates Math is written for standard liberal arts math courses for non-majors. It can also be used in high school life skills courses or as a refresher for those who use math in everyday applications.
