About the Book

Book Synopsis

Discover how math is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Math - Math In Action.

Mathematics is everywhere you look. From gaming and banking, to life-saving medication and climate change predictions, math is the building block of everything! Discover how math can help you decide where to go on holiday, uncover the math behind the fastest vehicles on the road, and meet the inspirational mathematicians who brought numbers and symbols to life, including Alan Turing, Emmy Noether and Barby Canright. A "try this at home" section shows readers how to measure a building with just a pencil and create their own card game.

With easy-to-understand text written by math expert Lou Abercrombie, and lots of colorful artworks illustrated by Evelyn Rogers, plus photos and diagrams, readers can explore where we encounter math and why it's even important at all.

The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. These books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering and math in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible.
