Libellus de Numeros (Magicae Mathematica #1)
Alex, a young precocious girl, mysteriously gets transported to a strange world where Latin and Math combine in formulas and equations with magical effects. With a cruel council leading the only safe city of it's kind in this world, she will have to prove her worth to stay as well as help this city as it is the target for two evil wizards who seek to destroy the city and it's ruling council.
Will the council's mighty army of guardians be enough to repel the onslaught of the two wizards' wrath?
To help the city and also get back home, she will need the help of the greatest mathematician of all time, Archimedes. In a world where math is magic, Alex wishes she paid more attention in math class.
Any math and Latin geeks out there? If so, this books is for you. First it is an amazing genre called adventure, do you remember reading Harry Potter? Or Chronicles of Narnia? Well, thats what Ive been raised on. Being a math geek has its perks, but after reading this book I got the answer to all my classmates question: why should we study math? Its all around us and we use it every day without even knowing that we use it. Its fun and you just never get bored of it. (That worked for me.) But
What an amazing ride!By Evelyn GreshamThis thrilling adventurous story, which inspires young ladies and math lovers alike; this story is action-packed with twists and turns that, will leave the reader wanting more. This book takes you on a journey to another world where Alex is a true fighter for justice as she tries to find her way home. Archimedes teaches Alex how important it is to understand and learn math and how math can even help during a horrible war. This book is a page turner for all
I wanted to like this so much for the concept, but I didn't. I wasn't sold on the characters or world and couldn't get into it. Alex and co. seemed like a well-intentions bunch, and the idea of a world where math + Latin = magic is great. Unfortunately I felt like the characters themselves fell flat, and I wasn't always a fan of how cut-and-dry certain aspects of it were. The council is bad and everyone knows that, including the council. Alex's anger is abrupt and often resolves with everyone
Tired of reading the same old stories again and again? Give Libellus de Numeros a chance. This book entwines ancient myths, Latin, and even math to create an interesting and thought provoking plot. Many studies have shown that while girls will read books with male protagonists, most males will not read books with female protagonists. The result? There are a lack of popular well written books in the area of math and science with a leading female lady. Personally, I feel that Libellus de Numeros
The storyline inspires a hunger for knowledge and a can do attitude - a strong message of empowerment for young readers.Im sure that this book will be interesting to read for both, boys and girls, as well as adult readers. Libellus de Numeros means "Book of Numbers" and it's a magical textbook in the story. Math and science are wonderfully incorporated into a captivating plot: Latin and math are presented as exciting tools to make magic and while Latin is often used as a language of magic the
