Hakan Oztunc is one of the fonders of the Niagara Learning Center in Chicago, IL. The Author won the best math book competition in Turkey, in two different categories, organized by the Ministry of Turkish Public Education in 2005. Considered as a math novel. Chased by Numbers follows the adventures of 5 young teenage friends, who must catch theri spies before the spies catch them. Along the way, they keep each other entertained by increasingly challenging math riddles. Chased by Numbers is a short, quick read where each chapter presents a clever number trick that any student of math will find to be both interesting and educational. An appendix at the back explains the tricks mathematically, offering teachers hands-on classroom activities. We feel this book will be a huge benefit to math students, especially those aged 12-18, and enlightening to general math aficionados.
