Description
Edufables®, or educational fables, represents a dramatic first in children's literature. It integrates advanced math and science concepts (traditionally taught in high schools or colleges) into original funny Fairy Tales. Youngsters gain an intuitive appreciation of topics, ranging from basic mathematics and probability, to calculus and science, while enjoying hilariously humorous never-before-heard fairy tales.
In Volume I, which contains four Fables, concepts include: Why do we see optical illusions the way we do? How can they be useful in everyday life? What is involved in sharing 10 items among different size groups? What are the chances of getting 3 heads and two tails in 5 coin flips and how is this related to the probability distribution of a classroom of the heights or weights of children? How can you construct simple games that exemplify these ideas? How will the world gain an unlimited supply of non-polluting energy by 2050? How can the sum of an infinite number of hops by a rabbit add up to a finite distance? How does a satellite go into orbit? Answers to all of these questions, the history behind them and much, much more are included in this intriguing publication.
As a bonus for adults, following each EduFable® is a comprehensive Appendix specifically written for readers who may be parents, grandparents, teachers and older siblings. The appendices not only provide fodder for expanded discussions of concepts with youngsters, but also often double as a fun learning experience for older readers.
Illustrated with more than 60 captivating cartoons, by M.I.T. graduate and Professor Emeritus of Physics and Mathematics, Mollie Abraham, this book is a must-have for any home, school or library shelf. Mollie is a uniquely qualified author for the EduFables® series having written more than 1,000 articles and 6 educational books.
