Albert Einstein once said, "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas." While readers may see math as an isolated discipline, in reality, it is at the core of many social, economic, and physical realms of society. This title offers explanatory text that helps readers understand key mathematical concepts such as the importance of p values in statistical analysis. It also reveals how math can be used in unexpected ways, including to combat gerrymandering. Complete with an exploration of theoretical issues in mathematics, this intriguing title will help readers see how math is crucial to our understanding of the world.

"British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington photographed the 1919 solar eclipse to prove Einstein's theory of general relativity by demonstrating that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light"--Provided by publisher.

Three young volunteers at the Metro City Science Museum discover they've actually volunteered for a great adventure after the museum's most prized exhibit is stolen by the evil Dr. Smasher. To recover it, they must use their knowledge of matter to survive an erupting volcano, operate a submarine, and ultimately outwit the wicked villain. Readers are invited to help fight crime, too, by learning about properties of matter and solving puzzles throughout this interactive adventure. This entertaining, high-interest volume, with its close ties to curricular content, is a motivating addition to any science collection.
