`Warning: this book contains some rather rude sums!', 7 Mar 2007

By	Amazon Reviewer - See all my reviews

Each of the books in this series is dedicated to a particular branch of mathematics - in this case, we have `arithmetic' - how to add, subtract, multiply and divide.' (n.b. others sneak into this book, inc. the decimal point, `greater than`, per cent, brackets, `squares, cubes and other powers`..........)

The colourful, humorous cover opens to 176 pages, split over
16 chapters:-

What are the essential arithmetricks?
Back to the sandpit
Awful addition
Some sneaky signs
Sickly subtraction
A cracking code!
The terrible tables
Maddening multiplication
Some more sneaky signs
Diabolical division
Smaller trousers and the golden promise
When nothing means something
Rough sums and going mental
The sneakiest signs!
The fiendish formula!
Oh no! Look......

written in a variety of fonts in the usual Kjartan Poskitt entertaining style. Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout.

Maths as you have never seen it before!
