Living Mathematics" Message-ID: Dear colleagues and friends, I have the pleasure to announce the first color edition of the English language version of the children's book "Drawings from Angola. Living Mathematics", translated from Portuguese to English by Prof. Dr. Arthur B. Powell, Rutgers University, Newark. The black-and-white edition (2007) continues also available. Both the color and the black-and-whites editions are available from: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/pgerdes Backcover text: For children from age 8 to 14. * * ?Drawings from Angola? presents an introduction to an African story telling tradition. The tales are illustrated with marvelous drawings made in the sand. The book tells the stories of the stork and the leopard, the hunter and the dog, the rooster and the fox, and others. It explains how to execute the drawings. The reader is invited to draw tortoises, antelopes, lions, and other animals. The activities proposed throughout the book invite the reader to experiment and to explore the ?rhythm? and symmetry of the illustrations. Surprising results will be playfully obtained such as in arithmetic, a way to calculate quickly the sum of sequence of odd numbers. Children will live the beautiful mathematics of the Angolan sand drawings. Answers to the activities are provided. The book can be used both in classrooms and at home. For youngsters from 15 years onwards, Paulus Gerdes wrote the book ?Lusona: Geometrical Recreations of Africa? (The latest edition is a color edition with solutions, Lulu, 2012). Parents and teachers who like to know more about the Cokwe story telling and drawing tradition, may consult Gerdes? book ?Sona Geometry from Angola: Mathematics of an African Tradition? (Polimetrica, Monza, 2007). -- Paulus Gerdes Professor of Mathematics Vice-President for Southern Africa, African Academy of Sciences Chairman, AMU Commission for the History of Mathematics in Africa President, International Studygroup for Ethnomathematics Senior Advisor for Research and Quality, ISTEG-University, Boane, Mozambique Postal adress: C.P. 915, Maputo, Mozambique paulus.gerdes at gmail.com http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/pgerdes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
