Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: This is a MUST HAVE book for all teachers of Mathematics, 16 April 2000 By A Customer This book brings numbers alive. It gives insights into how numbers appear everyday, how numbers help form patterns and the interconnection between types of number. It is accesible to a 10 yr old, yet provides challenges for all levels of Mathematics up to degree. It should be in every Maths teachers collection and ALL school libraries.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   So pleased to see it back in print, 10 Nov 2004 By  Matthew Pike (NOTTINGHAM, UK.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Numbers: Facts, Figures and Fiction (Paperback) This book is excellent. It interests the reader in numbers. You can be between 5 and 95 to enjoy it. The facts vary from the useful to the unhelpful, the level of mathematics from basic to A level. All school libraries should have a copy. All primary teachers should use the facts from 1-31 to give an interest to the date. All secondary teachers should use it to excite students in the relevance of mathematics and how it is the science of patterns. Best bit - pentagonal bolts in the USA.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 2 customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
