Synthesis
In this book its author has managed to demonstrate the great importance of mathematics , as well as a great achievement of education in Cuba after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution , where very few people had access to these subjects and fewer to schools to be able to Obtaining a school and cultural level of the required quality, the book is a great work of this author that has received the highest endorsement from critics worldwide.
Argument
The book consists of a large number of math problems where you can learn a lot and acquire great knowledge of this science , there are several jokes to irrigate the human brain combining general methods and great ingenuity which are the essential ingredients that characterize this book.
It is a kind of joyous and pleasant initiation into the world of mathematics, where knowledge can be measured using all the basic skills and knowledge of teaching to be able to enter these fantastic adventures of mathematics.
In Cuban society, the most surprising and strange prejudices in relation to mathematics still abound, it is said very often that only people with great talent can fully dedicate themselves to mathematics while other people affirm that to enter that science it is necessary to have a special “mathematical memory” that allows to memorize and remember perfectly the theorems , definitions , formulas, etc.
Therefore, the essence of this book is that reason can be reached and the conviction that anyone who wants it and has the desire to learn and enter the world of mathematics can achieve it and in this way obtain great results that promote human knowledge in this matter.
Author data
Mauricio Amat Abreu was born in 1959 , in the Puerto Padre municipality , Las Tunas province , Cuba .
Author’s opinion
The text is intended for a very wide circle of readers, with satisfaction it will be received by secondary and pre-university students and even primary school students. Parents will find in it, exercises of interest before for the development of reflection in children and young people, in addition, a large part of the problems are interesting for adults. Perhaps some of them seem familiar to you because they have already been treated in schools and some have been collected from other bibliography or popular slang.
It is easy to be convinced that almost all the problems raised can be modified and adapted to the desired situation or the context that is needed to make it more feasible for any type of reader, including younger children. In practice, it has been shown that this type of problem arouses great interest in the students, an aspect that is manifested in the requests, by them, for them to continue presenting these problems, and at the same time it is verified how they involve relatives and part from the community – they include teachers from other subjects – by presenting these problems and bringing others to the classroom, given by the people involved. This is really a shocking thing in math classes.
We hope that this book will serve as didactic material and for the learning of student youth, teachers, professors and anyone who feels a vocation for mental work and wants to develop their logical thinking, for which we would infinitely appreciate any suggestion or recommendation to improve the work.
