Paperback. This book explores how mathematics appears in everyday life. It presents math in a fun and beautiful way using knowledge at the junior high and high school level. It is written for general readers, not for experts. The book avoids difficult math and instead focuses on how new ways of thinking and careful observation can reveal interesting math ideas. It is divided into 33 topics. These include familiar recreational math like tournament games, magic squares, and math tricks, as well as unique ideas like the geometry of origami and toy train tracks. Some of the topics in this book may be unfamiliar to readers outside Japan, as they are based on things the author has observed in daily life in Japan. However, this is also one of the unique features of the book. It offers readers a glimpse into everyday life in Japan.
