An enjoyable, lighthearted romp through discrete math
2011/12/1
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Usually, love for math and romantic situations don't go well together. Particularly when the topics are selected from college-level undergraduate discrete math! But, this book successfully combines the two, using a combination of teaching and learning settings to show the characters' journeys through math understanding. With just a pinch of high-school level adolescent discomfort.
The most encouraging aspect of this book is its portrayal of the discovery process as students new to a problem domain play with problems to try to understand not just how to solve them or how to derive a solution, but why the particular domains work they way they do. While I'm certainly no trained mathematician myself, I've taken enough graduate level discrete math to recognize that the original author both has and wanted to convey a deep appreciation for the covered topics.
And, if that isn't enough to pique your interest, there is also a sample chapter available from the publisher's site:

Types of Readers Who Will Enjoy This Book.
2011/12/29
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
As I write this review, Math Girls ranks about way down at about 37,000 on Amazon's best-seller list, despite it being a recent release. That's no surprise, since this book isn't for everyone. However, where there's even a spark of math interest within the reader, this is a fascinating and captivating book, well worth the reader's time and effort. (And, like most things worthwhile, it will take some effort.) Unless you are remarkably proficient in math, I wouldn't classify it as an easy read. Nevertheless, because the author has structured this book in a way to very actively involve the reader's curiosity, the concentration and thinking the reader is called to do will turn out to be enlightening (and even entertaining) for many readers. So who will likely enjoy this book? Here are some types of readers:
1. Students (most likely, middle school through college) with at least an inkling of interest in the mathematical way of thinking (with emphasis on the word "thinking," not memorization). Despite the book's title, girls and boys will both appreciate this clever book.
2. Math teachers who want to go beyond standard textbooks in order to cultivate a hunger for mathematics within their advanced students. Maybe ordinary students, too.
3. Parents who sense their children just might become turned on by some of the incredible history and elegance (yes, elegance) of math, but who might best benefit from a non-threatening book to help encourage and stimulate their interest.
4. Someone who once had a real interest in math, but ultimately got sidetracked by seemingly more practical studies in engineering, applied science, econometrics or other such disciplines.
5. Readers who have heard of Euclid, Gauss and Euler, don't know a lot about them, and are attracted by the idea of sharing and appreciating the thoughts of these historical pioneers.
6. Anyone who never had a really good math teacher and who senses they've missed something.
In sum, math is an international language of science and thought, and books like this that help stimulate the reader's math interest--especially for students of all ages--can help open doors to exciting futures, whether they be specifically in science or generally in life, for those fluent in this remarkable language. Best wishes for all those who start this journey of discovery.

Fantastic book
2011/12/22
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I read the preview chapters that Bento Books put up before the book was published, and I knew when I had finished with them that I would be buying the book. What I didn't anticipate was that the book could become so much greater than I could see from the small offering I had been given. Math Girls combines math, romance, and humour beautifully into a story that entertains, challenges, and rewards throughout. Not only do we get a story with rigorous mathematics, but we get characters with personality, who seem to grow and develop as time goes on. The epilogue is a bit of fluff, but it's hardly so bad that it feels like a copout--it's a charming story, but it's not a 1000-page epic with plotlines that need definitive resolution. It's a simple, cute way of capping off the narrative.
I would recommend this to any math enthusiast out there.
