Journey to the West in Mathematics is the latest gift of Professor Li Yupei, a famous popular science writer in China-a set of particularly interesting mathematical deduction stories.
2. The main content of mathematical journey to the west:
The protagonists in the story in the book walk into the wonderful mathematics paradise together, feel the fun of learning mathematics, master the methods of learning mathematics, and find that mathematics is not boring, not difficult to learn, it is so magical and wonderful! This book tells the story of a clever mathematical monkey who happened to meet Pig Bajie, the Monkey King and Friar Sand and went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. They met many monsters along the way, all of whom were strong. The math monkey is responsible for calculating math problems, and the other three are responsible for killing goblins and pests for the people. They solved many mathematical problems along the way, including solving equations, periodic problems, profit and loss problem and many other interesting types of problems, but what I remember vividly is a percentage problem. The story tells the truth of percentage in a progressive way, which makes me understand that percentage is a relative value. Only by knowing the total value of percentage can we have a more accurate judgment on the final result. Mathematical stories are vivid, humorous and distinctive, and are unique in China.
