Meet Raye Montague – a “hidden figure” who made waves in the U.S. Navy!
After touring a German submarine in the early 1940s, young Raye set her sights on becoming an engineer. Little did she know sexism and racial inequality would challenge that dream every step of the way, even keeping her greatest career accomplishment a secret for decades. Through it all, the gifted mathematician persisted finally gaining her well-deserved title in history: a pioneer who changed the course of ship design forever.
A toddler captivated by patterns… A little boy filling his slate with numbers, rubbing them out with his elbow and starting again… A teenager solving complex maths problems… A young man matching the best minds in Cambridge…
Following his singular fascination with numbers, the award-winning book brings to children the story of the brilliant mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for whom numbers ‘made patterns only he could see.’
Penrose, a cat with a knack for math, takes children on an adventurous tour of mathematical concepts from fractals to infinity.
If someone handed you a big bowl of jelly beans, how would you figure out how many there are? You could count them, one by one―or you could estimate. Do you see more than five jelly beans? Less than a million?
We use estimation in Math when the exact answer to a problem is not required. The said problem can be resolved with an approximately realistic value. Estimating also helps us get the answer to a calculation faster.
