Most Helpful Customer Reviews   15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I ever needed to know about maths!, 15 Jun 2005 By A Customer Don't let the silly title fool you. This book is a clever presentation of almost every bit of maths I've ever heard of and quite a few that I hadn't! (Including the "Unknown Formula" which deals with mixing paint and throwing dice!) Other books try to do this but what makes this book even better are the strange mixture of stories and pictures. Little aliens try to wipe out the Earth with a joke, there's a green and grey fried egg, and a wonderful cartoon strip shows why Archimedes had a funny sign on his grave stone. I wish I'd had this when I was at school! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Are you forever getting your sums in a muddle and floundering with your `formulas`? (see footnote) Get back on track with `The Perfect Sausage'. The colourful, humorous cover opens to 207 pages, split over 11 chapters:- How this book came to be written All the shapes and lump formulas you'll probably ever need Numbers, pizza slices and alien interpreters On the move Can you feel the force? Money! The day of the week algorithm Perms, coms and the unknown formula All the shape and lump formulas you'll probably ever need ......again The card house and other odd formulas The important end bit plus, unusually for this series of books, a concise index! 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! n.b. `.........Formula is a Latin word and the plural is `formulae' and not `formulas'.............. Some people should check a dictionary......both `formulae' and `formulas' are in there, and we felt our young and groovy readers would prefer the modern world to the old Latin one.

It is full of formulas not just sausages. It is just one of the brilliant murderous maths books. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
