A book about Math for children and also for adults who moved on from it then want a happy nostalgia. :D

sách đọc hơi chán với người trưởng thành, phù hợp với các bạn học sinh hơn vì các kiến thức chỉ được trình bày sơ bộ

Vừa đọc xong cuốn Định lí cuối cùng của Fermat nên cuốn này sơ lược hơn, nhiều cái biết rồi nên nội dung không có gì mấy. Sách phù hợp với lứa tuổi học sinh hoặc những người không phải chuyên ngành về toán hơn. Đọc vào sẽ yêu Toán hơn chắc luôn.

Um livro de curiosidades matemáticas, dirigido a um público vasto e interessado na matéria. A leitura é especialmente fácil, embora nem sempre fluida, pois os assuntos parecem aleatórios. É possível ir lendo com calma e prazer!

Sách trình bày nhiều vấn đề khác nhau của toán học nhưng rất qua loa, vì đã biết về các vấn đề này trước đây nên đọc còn hiểu chứ các kiến thức chưa biết thì thấy rất sơ sài.

Too dry and bored. It can kill the interest of mathematic if readers doesn't know all the concepts before.

Algumas explicações um pouco confusas.

5 stars for the absolutely simple writing and it not being overly complex just because it's maths-related

Good to get yourself into the maths simplification mode.
