Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems featured in Daily News Newspaper
On 13 June 2006, “Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems” was featured in the “Daily News” newspaper, one of Thailand's most influential newspaper, as the best and recommended book of the month. The article has been translated as follows:
“Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems” “Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems” is a book written by an ex-engineer, whose harvested wealth of experience in solving mathematical problems was translated into a writing to allow readers to learn and enable them to self reliantly improve their own “thinking process”.
It is not a mathematics solutions book like other books currently being sold in the market. “Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems”, written by
Suthiphot Supunyachotsakul is a book that demonstrates ingenious thinking process to solve mathematical problems using mathematical tricks as assisting tools to allow for effective and efficient ways to analyse problems.
The collection of “Tricks” that reside inside the book will help make solving mathematical problems easier, starting from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to fractions, theory of quadratic equations, principle of undetermined coefficients, symmetrical and alternative functions, summation of series, how to solve equations, etc.
And believe it or not, you too can solve an Olympic Maths question within only 15 minutes???
It sounds like “Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems” is a book suitable for students studying at a high school up to university level, but actually small children like those studying at a primary school level can also adapt and make use of the book's content that relates to them as well.
From chaotically adding and subtracting numbers of many digits that required borrowing and carrying numbers over, after reading “Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems”, kids can use the “Tricks” to help turn the addition and subtraction of multiple digit numbers into an easy, migraine free task.
Inside the book, there are many examples of mathematical problems accompanied by worked out solutions and problem solving techniques using the “Tricks”. The book also points out various flaws and mistakes with the applications of mathematical theories evident in both local and international publications.
“Tricks for Attacking Mathematical Problems” is classified as one of the books enabling for easy and fun mathematics learning.
