Book Description
Many young students suffer from arithmophobia, i.e. a fear of numbers. They think mathematics is difficult as compared to other subjects. Of course, there are students who like mathematics the most. One example was India’s greatest mathematician Srinivas Ramanujan who, in his school days, spent almost all his time in studying mathematics. But in general, young children have a fear of mathematics; as a result, they do not perform well in exams. Our method of teachingsomehow seems to be responsible for this. The teacher generally writes theorems and formulasand solves some related problems. This does not create interest in the minds of youngchildren. Mathematics in the form of stories and puzzles will create enthusiasm in young minds.In this book, the author has solved some mathematical problems and puzzles through stories. Many of the stories in this collection are quite ancient and are known in different civilizations in the form of folk tales. Nobody knows who discovered these puzzles.
