Mathematical Zoo is a set of particularly interesting mathematical story books written by Li Yupei, a famous popular science writer. After reading this book, you can walk into the beautiful mathematics paradise with the protagonist in the story, feel the fun of mathematics and master the methods of learning mathematics. You will find that mathematics is not boring and not difficult to learn. It is so magical and wonderful!
The protagonists of the book History are all kinds of small animals, and the animals in the forest are very clever, especially the little macaque: no matter how difficult the math problem is, it is also good at observing, and no footprint can escape its sharp eyes, and it can always get to the bottom of strange things.
We solved some math problems through little macaques, and let us know that there is math everywhere in our lives. As long as we observe patiently and think seriously, we will find the magic of mathematics!
My favorite article is Buying Detectives, which tells a story about the greatest common divisor. How to cut the numbers 8 meters, 12 meters and 16 meters into the same short wood without redundancy?
This requires the greatest common divisor of three numbers. It's easy to know that you can cut a 4-meter-long wood, because all three numbers can be divisible by 4, and it's the largest. We can know what the greatest common divisor is from this story. In real life, we can also use these greatest common divisors to solve practical problems.
For example, there are 20 students, 24 students and 28 students in three classes, and each class should be divided into groups with the same number and fewer students. The number of three classes in this question can be divisible by 4, so the answer is 4.
After reading a series of mathematical stories written by Li Yupei, I suddenly feel that mathematics is not so boring and makes people feel so rigid. On the contrary, I think mathematics is very interesting and distinctive.
I like reading the math books written by Li Yupei very much, because he taught you math knowledge in the form of stories, which taught me many ways to solve math problems.
It is better to say that there is a lot of mathematics in the book than that there is mathematics everywhere in life. In daily life, as long as we pay attention to observation, we will certainly find and solve the mathematics in life. After reading this book, I suddenly feel that mathematics is very important. I will study hard in the future.
