Brookhart C. Go Figure! : Using Math to Answer Everyday Imponderables
McGraw-Hill, 2002. - 144 pages.

Go Figure is an engaging and diverse collection of maths-related anecdotes, puzzles and formulas. It shows readers all the interesting things they can figure out using basic algebra.

As Bruce Merserve and Max Sobel observed in their Introduction to Mathematics (Prentice-Hall), Many people study mathematics just for fun! These individuals would rather solve a mathematical
puzzle than read a book, watch television, or go to a movie. Admittedly, not everyone has, or can have, this type of disposition. On the other hand, most of us use mathematical concepts in a variety of ways but have never been given an opportunity to explore some of the more interesting aspects of mathematics.

This author couldn’t have said it better! Numbers are around us everywhere. Newcomers to
mathematics will find that dealing with them will be very important in molding many careers. For fields of business, social sciences, health fields, and particularly engineering and science, mathematics is an invaluable support ingredient.

Math-the application of reasonable logic to reasonable assumptions-usually produces reasonable results.
