The principles of algebra were founded by al-Khwarizmi many centuries ago, in a time when mankind had no calculators, computers, or electronic gadgets. There were no telephones and the only means of communication was by messenger on horseback and boat.

Mathe zum Mitmachen Für Schüler, Lehrer, Gelehrte und weniger Gelehrte, und alle, die dem Thema gegenüber aufgeschlossen sind oder sein müssen. Der Autor unterrichtet seit vielen Jahren Mathematik und weiß, wovon er redet. Und so erklärt er uns unterhaltsam und gut verständlich die Grundlagen der Algebra - nicht ohne Rechnungen und Formeln, was bei Mathe ja irgendwie unvermeidlich ist, aber auch mit Rätseln, Aufgaben und Eselsbrücken. So bietet er uns eine »Mathematikstunde«, wie man sie gerne in der Schule gehabt hätte.
