Excelente livro。Algumas vezes o autor "exagera" na matemática mostrada （que deve assustar o mais leigo）， mas em geral， os conceitos estão corretos e bem apresentados， com poucas pequenas falhas que não comprometem o texto geral。Recomendo。 Excelente livro。Algumas vezes o autor "exagera" na matemática mostrada （que deve assustar o mais leigo）， mas em geral， os conceitos estão corretos e bem apresentados， com poucas pequenas falhas que não comprometem o texto geral。Recomendo。 。。。more

Even though I have a B。A。 degree in Mathematics （1968）， I cannot say I understood all of these ideas。 Perhaps I don't "really need to know" them after all？ Even though I have a B。A。 degree in Mathematics （1968）， I cannot say I understood all of these ideas。 Perhaps I don't "really need to know" them after all？ 。。。more

Total neatrăgătoare pentru un umanist și probabil total inutilă pentru cineva cu înclinații și cunoștinte medii-avansate。 Combină concepte foarte de bază și ușor de înțeles cu noțiuni avansate și le dedică la fel de mult spațiu ambelor categorii。

Be prepared， because I am a maths nerd， so I did， absolutely love this book。It was simple enough that I could understand it without too much brain work （aka。 I could read it just before bed without crying）， but was also full of new principles and ideas I'd never heard of， or thought about。I definitely picked this back up again at the perfect time。 I found that I'd read about something， and then be covering it in lessons in the next couple of weeks。 It laid the perfect base for my teacher to buil Be prepared， because I am a maths nerd， so I did， absolutely love this book。It was simple enough that I could understand it without too much brain work （aka。 I could read it just before bed without crying）， but was also full of new principles and ideas I'd never heard of， or thought about。I definitely picked this back up again at the perfect time。 I found that I'd read about something， and then be covering it in lessons in the next couple of weeks。 It laid the perfect base for my teacher to build on， and helped me pick up principles so much quicker than I normally would。This book is such an incredible resource for maths students， but also， if you're just a bit nerdy， and want to learn a tiny bit more about maths， it can be super interesting （and not too boring）。 。。。more

Proposta interessante， mas infelizmente não é， assim， muito acessível pra quem não é iniciado na área。 E， de forma geral， é bem superficial。 O nome do livro deveria ser "50 ideias de matemática que você precisa ouvir falar"。 Proposta interessante， mas infelizmente não é， assim， muito acessível pra quem não é iniciado na área。 E， de forma geral， é bem superficial。 O nome do livro deveria ser "50 ideias de matemática que você precisa ouvir falar"。 。。。more

A very inspiring and entertaining short read with bite-sized chapters ideal for a bedtime read。 Overall， I would recommend the book to everybody familiar with basic mathematics who is curious to learn about further concepts， even experts can still learn from it。

Short articles with important mathematical ideas。 I recommend everybody who has a basic mathematical education to understand and evaluate the most important findings in Math。

Written nicely， basic and accessible。 The book contains interesting historical facts about different math concepts。 This actually could be a nice History of Math textbook - I wish this was my textbook when I was in college！However， personally I found it really hard to finish the book in a fair period of time， and I gradually lost interest in finishing it。 Same thing happened to my professor who lended me the book。。。 So at least for me， it's not a book I would normally reach for。If you are intere Written nicely， basic and accessible。 The book contains interesting historical facts about different math concepts。 This actually could be a nice History of Math textbook - I wish this was my textbook when I was in college！However， personally I found it really hard to finish the book in a fair period of time， and I gradually lost interest in finishing it。 Same thing happened to my professor who lended me the book。。。 So at least for me， it's not a book I would normally reach for。If you are interested， I recommend reading one or two concepts per day and try being consistent for two weeks， before they all slip off your mind。 。。。more

Leitura bem informativa， ajudou-me a rever alguns conceitos e a adquirir uma pequena noção de outros， mais complexos que até então só tinha ouvido falar。 As explicações são bem acessíveis， e servem como isca para quem se interessar por algum dos assuntos apresentados。 Obviamente que o livro não tem a pretensão de cobrir temas complexos de maneira profunda， mas sim dar algumas pinceladas introdutórias。

It's not a bad book and would be worth reading by someone with a very deficient mathematical education。 I found it inaccurate in parts and badly explained in others。 I also felt that the selection of ideas was not great （why do writers of books on mathematics for non-mathematicians so often include a section on relativity theory？） It's not a bad book and would be worth reading by someone with a very deficient mathematical education。 I found it inaccurate in parts and badly explained in others。 I also felt that the selection of ideas was not great （why do writers of books on mathematics for non-mathematicians so often include a section on relativity theory？） 。。。more

Buen libro sobre ideas básicas de las matemáticas， sobre todo si no habías estado tan adentrado en este mundo。 Aunque pudieron haber temas más interesantes， sigue siendo un buen libro de cultura general matemática。

Un libro muy interesante， lo recomendaria para personas que les interesan las matemáticas y que hayan cursado el bachillerato， porque es un libro demasiado complejo si no se tienen buenas bases en matemáticas， importate ten a la mano lapiz， hoja y calculadora。

I would have told you that I’ve always been “good” at math， but now I’m more inclined to tell you that I’ve always been “comfortable” with math。 I’ve enjoyed playing around with numbers and shapes and equations and all that。 So when I saw 50 Mathematical Ideas on a friend’s shelf it was an easy one to grab and browse。Which is what you can do with this book: browse。 I read it in order， one through fifty and there are overlapping concepts that might have you go read a previous chapter if you haven I would have told you that I’ve always been “good” at math， but now I’m more inclined to tell you that I’ve always been “comfortable” with math。 I’ve enjoyed playing around with numbers and shapes and equations and all that。 So when I saw 50 Mathematical Ideas on a friend’s shelf it was an easy one to grab and browse。Which is what you can do with this book: browse。 I read it in order， one through fifty and there are overlapping concepts that might have you go read a previous chapter if you haven’t already。 But not too often， and Crilly is consistently “light but thorough” in his treatment of each idea， whether it’s The Zero， Infinity， Relativity， or Fractions。For folks familiar with the concepts， it’s a nice little review， and for those who are new to the ideas， the chapters provide a tidy introduction。 But I don’t know if people who aren’t comfortable with math should even bother。 。。。more

<3 Math <3If you're interested in math beyond Arithmetic， worth a read or at least a skim of the topics that interest you。 Talks a lot more about the history and development of various topics than you'd normally get even in most Undergraduate level courses。 <3 Math <3If you're interested in math beyond Arithmetic， worth a read or at least a skim of the topics that interest you。 Talks a lot more about the history and development of various topics than you'd normally get even in most Undergraduate level courses。 。。。more

I had to read this book for school， and I can honestly say that it is possibly THE WORST book I have ever read。 Don't get me wrong; I love math。 This book; however， KILLED me。 It spent four pages per topic talking about some things that should have been learned in kindergarten and some other things that are irrelevant and confusing。 DON'T read this book unless you absolutely have to。 You don't have to agree with me; I'm just sharing MY honest opinion。 I had to read this book for school， and I can honestly say that it is possibly THE WORST book I have ever read。 Don't get me wrong; I love math。 This book; however， KILLED me。 It spent four pages per topic talking about some things that should have been learned in kindergarten and some other things that are irrelevant and confusing。 DON'T read this book unless you absolutely have to。 You don't have to agree with me; I'm just sharing MY honest opinion。 。。。more

A good introduction to a few basic mathematical ideas。 Not quite what I expected from the title。 Would have loved a bit more in depth historical viewpoint。 I guess 50 was just too many subjects to cram into such a tight package for me。

This might have been one of the books I bought somewhere along the way as a math teacher to have in my classroom， and now that I've finally gotten around to reading it， I'm glad that I did！ Each mathematical idea is well explained with enough information to both engage someone without a lot of background knowledge and to expand the horizons of someone who does。 The ideas also increased in mathematical-ness throughout the book， so that the ones described in the beginning were more typical math or This might have been one of the books I bought somewhere along the way as a math teacher to have in my classroom， and now that I've finally gotten around to reading it， I'm glad that I did！ Each mathematical idea is well explained with enough information to both engage someone without a lot of background knowledge and to expand the horizons of someone who does。 The ideas also increased in mathematical-ness throughout the book， so that the ones described in the beginning were more typical math or number ideas while the ones later on moved into higher math topics or more specific theorems and applications。 It's definitely a book that can be picked up and browsed， especially since some entries are cross-referenced， but there would be some loss in terms of the collective building up of content。 The timeline and "condensed idea" features were also nice contributions to each entry。 。。。more

Well-written but if you are already a math guy， you won't find anything new here。 However， it can be a good starting point for your child， probably around late secondary school years。 Well-written but if you are already a math guy， you won't find anything new here。 However， it can be a good starting point for your child， probably around late secondary school years。 。。。more
