Abstract 520    $aImageine that you've finally found a parking place after a long and harrowing search, but are now encountering some difficulty in trying to enter the space. Wouldn't it be great if you knew a formula that allowed you to enter the space without difficulty? Are you annoyed because your soda can doesn't remain upright during a picnic? Would you like to know why a mirror swaps left for right but not top and bottom? Are you looking for a mathematical speech to toast your mother-in-laws 85th birthday ? or do you want to give your heart away mathematically? the author provides solutions to these and many other problems that we encounter in everyday situations.
