Читать книгу History and math. Нand in hand. Book 1. Ancient World. 50 mathematical tasks for students based on historical events. Ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt and Persia - Dmitry Moskovets - Страница 3

Let’s remember the tasks that we all had at school. Sometimes they were interesting, sometimes tedious. Someone was always travelling from point A to point B. Why? There was no answer. Still, they always reached their destination. Time flew, and we always forgot about this brave traveller. The purpose of the book and the tasks inside is to make students remember such travellers, and, while doing mathematics, also learn about history.

Some of the characters are fictional, but the larger part really existed and left a mark in history (their names can be found on the list at the end of the book).

Just like the events: the real ones have a date next to them.

A list of the used terms is located at the end of the book. It goes along with a list of all historical personalities mentioned in the book. All the tasks (and more) can be found on www.mathistory. xyz.
