Excerpt from Mathematics Simplified and Made Attractive, or the Laws of Motion Explained Heretofore the appeal has been made so entirely to the memory rather than to the understanding, that we are not to be surprised at the repulsiveness of the methods by which the world has been so long mystified.

This book Simplified Mathematics (Revised Version) is a revised version of the book simplified mathematics. Some new topics have been added to complement the original book. These topics will add to students knowledge obtained from the first book. This book will serve as a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. Students in the higher institutions taking courses in mathematics will also find this maths book useful, especially when there is need for improved mathematical foundation for such students.The step by step explanations presented in the worked examples are easy to study since care was taken to sufficiently explain salient points and mathematical ideas. Efforts have been made to achieve a complete and simplified explanation of every example given in this textbook. Many worked examples have been included in each topic in order to fully cover every complexity the topic might contain.Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are intended to test students' understanding of the topic. Therefore students are thus presented with an effective means of self-assessment whereby they can determine their individual strengths and revision needs.The topics covered in this book include: Linear equation and equations with fractions Number basesStandard forms and approximationsLaws of indices Laws and theories of logarithmsModular arithmetic Change of subject of formulaeVariationPercentage errorSequence (Including Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions)Series (Linear and Exponential Series) Surds Square root of surdsThese topics have covered some areas under linear algebra and numbers and numerations.Readers with mathematical mindsets will find these topics well simplified, thereby making mathematics more interesting. A constructive overview of this mathematics textbook will be highly appreciated from buyers so as to give an overview to others who intend to purchase a copy of this text, and also to be a form of advice for the author to use when revising the book.

"The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them."--Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine" This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time. Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart."--James Tanton, Global Math Project For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wide audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves parables, puzzles, and personal reflections to show how mathematics meets basic human desires--such as for play, beauty, freedom, justice, and love--and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing. These desires and virtues, and the stories told here, reveal how mathematics is intimately tied to being human. Some lessons emerge from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother's, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison. Christopher's letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can--and must--be open to all.
