The author takes the general reader on a tour of the mathematical puzzles and paradoxes inherent in voting systems, such as the Alabama Paradox, in which an increase in the number of seats in the Congress could actually lead to a reduced number of representatives for a state, and the Condorcet Paradox, which demonstrates that the winner of elections featuring more than two candidates does not necessarily reflect majority preferences. Szpiro takes a roughly chronological approach to the topic, traveling from ancient Greece to the present and, in addition to offering explanations of the various mathematical conundrums of elections and voting, also offers biographical details on the mathematicians and other thinkers who thought about them, including Plato, Pliny the Younger, Pierre Simon Laplace, Thomas Jefferson, John von Neumann, and Kenneth Arrow.

Numbers dominate global politics and, as a result, our everyday lives. Credit ratings steer financial markets and can make or break the future of entire nations. GDP drives our economies. Stock market indices flood our media and national debates. Statistical calculations define how we deal with climate change, poverty and sustainability. But what is behind these numbers? In How Numbers Rule the World, Lorenzo Fioramonti reveals the hidden agendas underpinning the use of statistics and those who control them. Most worryingly, he shows how numbers have been used as a means to reinforce the grip of markets on our social and political life, curtailing public participation and rational debate. An innovative and timely exposé of the politics, power and contestation of numbers.

We live in a world of numbers and mathematics, and so we need to work with numbers and some math in almost everything we do, to control our happiness and the direction of our lives. The purpose of Coming Home to Math is to make adults with little technical training more comfortable with math, in using it and enjoying it, and to allay their fears of math, enable their numerical thinking, and convince them that math is fun. A range of important math concepts are presented and explained in simple terms, mostly by using arithmetic, with frequent connections to the real world of personal financial matters, health, gambling, and popular culture.As such, Coming Home to Math is geared to making the general, non-specialist, adult public more comfortable with math, though not to formally train them for new careers or to teach those first learning math. It may also be helpful to liberal arts college students who need to tackle more technical subjects. The range of topics covered may also appeal to scholars who are more math savvy, though it may not challenge them.

Using a dialogue approach, award-winning international bestselling author Paul Chika Emekwulu explores the rules of divisibility of whole numbers in "Divisibility Rules of Whole Numbers Made Simple." The book covers the rules of divisibility by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Each chapter begins with an introduction, previous knowledge, and a set of objectives to guide the reader in the lesson. Exercises, chapter summaries, and s search for counter examples close each chapter, aiding the reader's comprehension of the material. The author uses algebra - in some cases, in addition to arithmetic - to investigate why each divisibility rule works. The investigations are interesting, and you will enjoy them when you eventually discover that just memorizing the divisibility rules is not enough. The characters in each dialogue include the classroom teacher, Mrs. Adeyinka, Adeyemi, Ajalla, and Adedeji. These are all imaginary including the school, a Teachers' Training College in Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria.
