魔鬼藏在細節裡，數學也不遑多讓！ 你相信嗎？在神話故事的情節中，古代竹簡的註解裡，甚至是畫家筆下的作品……一直都存在「數學」。 這是一場探索知識細節的冒險！作者以深厚的數學史底蘊與豐富的閱讀經驗，帶領讀者穿梭文化、語言、文本與藝術之間，尋找數學隱藏的軌跡及其意義。從伏羲與女媧的神話，到計數與說算的多種風貌，再到葛飾北齋的《略畫早指南》，數學在字裡行間悄然現身，讓我們重新發現它的魅力。本書特色｜字・裡・行・間◆ 字不是死板符號，而是活生生的靈感數學不只存在於黑板上的方程式，它也潛藏在古代神話與小說情節之中。數學和文字一樣能編織故事，甚至在秦吏的素養裡，計數還被認為比讀語更重要！◆ 裡頭全是意想不到的數學驚喜從《儒林外史》的貨幣單位，看見明清社會的另一種風貌；從葛飾北齋的《略畫早指南》，了解東方畫家如何用直線、圓形等幾何學元素，描繪他眼中的世界。◆ 行走閱讀之路，就像迷宮探險每篇文章都是一個全新的入口，帶讀者走進不一樣的數學風景。書中沒有艱澀冗長的證明，只有知識的冒險，每一段都讓人忍不住想更深入探究其中的奧妙。◆ 間隙之處，蹦出學習新想法在細節裡，將會看見數學的幽默與浪漫。每篇內容都能獨立閱讀，老師可直接運用於課堂上，學生更能在課外閱讀中找到學習的新樂趣。跨界專業齊聲推薦(依首字筆劃排序)冬陽｜央廣「名偵探科普男」節目主持人吳念祺｜每天都要一起玩STEAMxPlay親子學習社群創辦人洪進益｜澎湖縣石泉國小教師、教育部師鐸獎得主莊惟棟｜魔數術學文教執行長

當數學裡沒有數字，會發生什麼事？——沒有練習題，沒有標準答案，剩下的是發現、探索、推論，以及解謎的樂趣！ 這本書除了頁碼之外，完全沒有數字，同時還有100多幅由紐約當地藝術家M手繪的插圖。作者利用文字和圖像來傳達重要的數學概念的感覺，並省去了公式和計算。雖然沒有數字，但這本書對於數學是什麼？數學涵蓋哪些部分？最有趣的地方在哪裡？這些探索是絕不打折，而且能讓您對於數學，有更廣闊的了解。例如，有什麼東西比「無限大」更大嗎？世界上總共有多少種形狀？現實生活中什麼時候會用得上這些？這些問題其實都有答案，但答案都不是數字。從本書一開始，作者帶領我們進入一個奇妙的「現實平面」。在這個平面上，正方形是圓形、賽局是樹，自然世界則是電腦模擬。對於學過九九乘法之後就不再關注數學的人而言，數學真的是抽象怪異到了極點！但是，數學為什麼還那麼有用呢？這本書寫來生動活潑，而且極富原創性，它帶領我們認識抽象數學的三大分支：拓樸學、分析和代數，把這三個領域解釋得很清晰而有趣。作者說，其實關鍵就是掌握模式。這本書一反傳統的教學方式，邀請讀者運用創意，來思考空間和維度、無限大和無限小、對稱、證明、結構，以及這些概念如何結合在一起，最後，將這些概念應用在日常生活中！歡迎來到人類知識的最前沿，體驗數學的美麗與奧祕。 專業推薦李政憲，新北市林口國中老師洪萬生，臺灣數學史教育學會理事長游森棚，臺灣師範大學數學系教授 我要大力推薦這本書！有鑑於拓樸學、量子力學以及相對論極有可能成為本世紀下半葉的公民基礎素養，我尤其希望有語文閱讀自信的讀者，一定要特別注意這一類數學普及書籍的問世，因為這攸關公民科學素養的必要選項。——洪萬生，臺灣數學史教育學會理事長 這是一本非常特別的數學科普書！我欣見這本書的出版，也佩服作者的宏觀與有趣的文筆，把數學某些本質層面藉由適當的選材呈現出來。本書的視野和高度在數學科普書中是非常少見的，足以讓讀者對數學有完全不同的認識與體悟。——游森棚，臺灣師範大學數學系教授 什麼？學數學可以不用數字？！作者深入淺出，以圖文介紹了許多看似難懂的數學名詞，以及這些概念與生活、遊戲與哲學等面向的連結，若你覺得不知道數學有何用處，或是有興趣想研究更多數學面向，這本書值得一讀。——李政憲，新北市林口國中老師、藝數摺學FB社團創辦人、教育部師鐸獎得主

兩河流域的算術泥板、搜尋引擎、巡航定速…數學早已是人類文明進程中的要角。斯德哥爾摩大學最年輕的博士Stefan Buijsman以趣味十足，引人入勝的筆法，向讀者解釋生活中無處不在的數學概念，及數學與哲學、心理學、歷史背後的關聯。Thousands of years ago the inhabitants of Mesopotamia became the first to use numbers. Since then, mathematics has been unstoppable. It's behind almost everything, from search-engines to cruise-control, from coffee-makers to timetables.But now that we hardly ever need to do arithmetic, how relevant is mathematics to everyday life? Pluses and Minuses demonstrates the role mathematics plays in human endeavour. It answers questions such as: What is life without numbers? Is the usefulness of mathematics mere chance? How can we get a grip on uncertainty? Stefan Buijsman's richly entertaining guide makes connections between philosophy, psychology and history, while explaining the wonderful world of mathematics for absolutely everyone.Born in 1995, Stefan gained a master's degree in philosophy in Leiden at the age of eighteen, after which he moved from Sweden to work on a PhD.
