numbers and shapes. It is a
wonderful world, which you will
agree as you study deeper, learning
and using more and more of it,
which will bring you more and more
satisfaction and joy.
Many engineering feats of today would not have been
possible if this science was not developed. The invention
of maths has been the greatest thing ever to happen to
human beings to give them the winning edge over all
other beings.
Maths and you
Every one of you loves a challenge to the brain and the
victory earned through solving mysteries and puzzles,
isn’t it ? This book brings unto you that pleasure through
the treasure spread over its pages.
Enjoy, learn to create joy and enjoy
As mentioned above, this being the science of numbers
and shapes, you will experience through these pages the
joy of knowing different numbers and what shapes they
can relate to and how you can reshape a thing simply
through their rearrangement or interaction. As you enjoy
doing this, you also learn newer ways to create joy for
others and for yourself.

This series of booklets polishes all sides of the surface of
your character like those of a diamond, bringing out up
on the surface, all that shine and glitter that lies within
you. This is achieved through various puzzles well
designed to sharpen your skills in logical reasoning and
analytical thinking, in addition to speed and accuracy in
calculation.
The strengthening of your foundation
The puzzles and challenges designed by our subject
experts, to sharpen your skills as stated above, bring
unto you untold joy and satisfaction of winning at the
same time automatically forming a rational and
calculative foundation for your mind as its thinking base.
Calculate and start enjoying your life
As you learn numbers and to count them, you only come
to know about numbers with fixed values and their order
of appearance. But as you learn to calculate, you start
revealing their ability and that in relation with other
numbers. This opens a vast space with umpteen
possibilities for you to try and experiment with numbers.
This book brings unto you the astonishing relationship of
numbers with each other, their behaviour with each
other, their interactions with each other and the various
stunning patterns that emerge out of their such
behaviour and interactions. And boy ! you get awestruck
with that magic.
