Teaching of a specific subject; Number systems

If you’ve spent a fair share of time in math class glancing at the clock, you’re not alone. Glancing at the clouds and wondering how well counting the flower petals on the windowsill can help you run out the clock is a pretty common phenomenon for people who aren’t into numbers. But those connections you make aren’t just in your head. You might just be closer than you think to understanding the universe.

The Voice of Math takes a deep dive into understanding numbers through the lens of humanity. You’ll see the struggles humanity has taken to understand life and the hiccups in understanding. If you look closely, you’ll probably see yourself, too.

If you’ve always been curious about math but don’t know where to start, pick up this book. Inside you’ll find Easter eggs we’ve scattered through its pages. Inside you’ll find mathematical problems broken down to become more understandable. Inside you’ll unlock mysteries history has solved and a few you can unlock on your own.

This book is designed to inspire curiosity. It’s to develop a love for math from an anecdotal point of view. Who you are may just be hidden in these pages, and your journey to become a mathematician might just be right around the corner.
