Подлите дроби

Murderous Maths #4

by Kjartan Poskitt, Марин Загорчев (Translator)

Някои ще решат, че тази книга е твърде ужасна, груба, глупава и безполезна за теб. Някой може дори да се опита да ти я отмъкне и да я скрие върху прашасал гардероб до забравена стара шапка, купена за сватба, но оказала се неподходяща поради траурния си цвят. Книгата ПОДЛИТЕ ДРОБИ ще те срещне с някои наистина много прости дроби, ще те научи как да ги обезвреждаш и как да "сложиш в малкия си джоб" всеки калкулатор...

Спомням си го сякаш беше вчера – славното време, когато поредицата „Страховитото в историята” се появи за първи път на български и бързо се превърна в любимо четиво за мен и доста от връстниците ми. Сега имахме шанс не просто да си учим уроците по история или да добавяме към тях и по някой и друг факт от детските енциклопедии. Сега можехме едновременно да впечатлим, ужасим и погнусим учителите (и съучениците) си с настръхващо-ужасяващи, но съвършено верни истории от близко, далечно и още по-далечно минало. Каква гадост са използвали Ацтеките вместо шампоан или по какъв кървав начин са наказвали пиратите бунтовниците и предателите в екипажа си? Наистина ли искате да знаете? Популярността на „Страховитото в историята” доведе и до още две поредици в същия стил – „Страховитото в науката” и „Жестоката математика”. А съвсем наскоро от „Егмонт България” възродиха поредиците с ново оформление и илюстрации за ново поколение читатели. Днес ще ви разкажем за още две от тези книги – „Порочните кръгове и други страшни фигури” и „Подлите дроби” от Джартан Поскит.

I really could not get into this book at all. I love maths and I like a lot of children's books but this one just didn't work for me. I didn't find the examples of use of maths very funny and I didn't really enjoy the mathematical explanations. Maybe it works others but not me.

Toto bolo zatiaľ najslabšie zo sérky aj z toho mála, čo som čítal. A strašne veľa matiky, a strašne veľa jedla, takže som bol celý čas vlastne hladný.

I am not a math person. I was hoping to enjoy this more but just didn’t.

The Mean nd Vulgar Bits is a book in the Murderous Maths series. The book is not so much a story, but a guide to help the reader better understand math using humor. This book in the series teaches fractions and decimals. Fractions and decimals are used to tell us how big "bits" of things are. This book shwed the practical uses for fractions and decimals and showed me how to do adding, subtracting multiplying and dividing them.

Murdurous maths was a hularious book it had some vulgar bits but it made me laugh about math. The book understands me and knows that kids these days dont like math but I reccmmend it for anyone over nine years old. If teachers were ble to take the time to explain decimals and fractions like this them maybe more kids would understand.

This book was 160 pages long. It was long but still it took me accidentally four days to read. This book was about fractions and averages. It was also about decimals. There was even a chapter with only whole numbers, which was called Blinkin' Awkward Numbers. This book was making me a little bit sleepy and car sick, because I finished it in the car. I couldn't write the book report because there was no internet, and I don't know if Goodreads requires the internet. I wanted to rate it four stars, but it was so good I ended up rating it five stars. Just because it took four days to read it wasn't boring. Just maybe 0.1% boring. But let's just forget about percents.
I would recommend this too mathematicians, the same with every Murderous Math book, and everybody.
