Millennium
Mathematical Frieze. This is our calendar for the New Year, and takes the
place of FunMaths!, which has receeived high acclaim in recent years.
Like FunMaths, the Millennium Frieze contains countless interesting
mathematical problems and a theme per month. Its 12 full-colour posters
outline the history
of mathematics and science since the year 1000. The
project is supported by Maths Year 2000, the UK government's official
contribution to World Mathematical Year.
The posters are well illustrated in full colour. Written in a chatty and
contemporary newspaper style, topics covered include:
* "Big zero" - how the number zero reached Europe via India, Africa and the
Middle East
* Geoffrey Chaucer and the astrolabe
* the history of numbers
* Newton and his apple (of course!), but also the less-known theory of
rainbows
* the "history of the future" - where will maths be in the year 2100?
The Millennium Frieze costs 9.50 UK pounds for one copy (20 pounds for 3, or
£50 for 10). This includes UK postage to one address. We will mail direct to
your friends if you wish to use them as presents. Christmas delivery is
still possible (just!). Send us the details now, and we will do the rest.
Substantial trade discounts available.
Please send your mailing address if you would like to see some sample pages,
plus credit card authorisation if you would like to buy a copy (FULL MONEY
BACK GUARANTEE).
The Millennium Frieze is being sold on behalf of MatheMagic, the new
charitable organisation promoting the popularisation of mathematics. All
retail profits go to MatheMagic.
