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!

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Get back on track with `The Perfect Sausage'.', 7 Mar 2007
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Guarantee - this book contains no nasty exercises and no boring sums!'

`Is Maths making you miserable?
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 22 April 2006
This is a fun book with aliens, people from the wild west, mad professors, vikings, prototype sausages, archimedes and much more. It is full of formulas not just sausages. It is just one of the brilliant murderous maths books.
