Product Description

Product Description

Is maths making you miserable? Are you alarmed by algebra and flummoxed by formulas? Do equations make you quake? Look no further: The Phantom is here to banish algebraic agony for good. Find out what Grizelda the Grisly buys on a shopping trip to the Slaughter-o-Mart, face another diabolical challenge from Professor Fiendish, and enter the Murderous Maths testing laboratory in the disturbing disguise of a Pure Mathematician. Meanwhile, the gangsters discover that, sometimes, x = a big, fat nothing.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'How can you put a number into a calculator when you don't know what it is?', 7 Mar 2007
By ABCeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Guarantee - this book contains no nasty exercises and no boring sums!'

The colourful, humorous cover opens to 160 pages, split over
11 chapters:-

The secret weapon
What is algebra?
The Slaught-o-Mart equations
The father of algebra
Packing, unpacking and the panic button
The mechanics of magic
The Murderous Maths testing laboratory
The bank clock
Axes, plots and the flight of the loveburger
Double trouble
The zero proof

written in a variety of fonts in the usual Kjartan Poskitt entertaining style, e.g.:-

`You haven't seen me before and, after this book, I hope for your sake we never meet again, because I'm dangerous to be seen with.
In fact, just to be safe, before you read on check there's no one looking over your shoulder.
All clear?
Right then, here's the situation.
Maths is one long fierce battle in which we're all being attacked by an army of different problems. Luckily, most of them are little sums that you can solve in your head. Then for the really tough sums, you can bang the numbers into a calculator and read off the answer.
But sometimes you have to do sums and you aren't told what the numbers are!
How can you put a number into a calculator when you don't know what it is?
What do you do when you're facing the UNKNOWN?
It's usually a job for ......
the Phantom X..........'

Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout.

Maths as you have never seen it before!
