Latar Belakang
Persatuan Sains Matematik Malaysia (PERSAMA) telah ditubuhkan pada tahun 1970 oleh sekumpulan ahli yang berminat di Universiti Malaya untuk menggantikan Persatuan Sains Matematik Malaya yang berkubur yang sebelum itu telah memberikan khidmat di kedua-dua negara, Malaya dan Singapura. Pada mulanya Persatuan ini hanya mempunyai 42 orang ahli, hampir kesemuanya dari Universiti Malaya. Kini Persatuan mempunyai jumlah ahli yang sekitar 300 orang yang terdiri daripada ahli akademik dan guru sekolah seluruh negara tidak termasuk pelajar dan institusi.

The World of Mathematics is an interactive eBook available online and on mobile devices. Using some of the most advanced web technologies and educational principles, we want to make advanced mathematical ideas as accessible and exciting as possible. The articles don’t usually require any prerequisite knowledge, especially since the topics are usually unrelated to the school mathematics curriculum. We have chosen 30 of the most exciting, interesting or useful areas of mathematics and ordered them in five chapters. However it is possible to read each of the articles on their own.

In this eBook, mathematical ideas come to life using animations, slideshows, games or computations. Many of the numbers in the text are actually variables – users can change them and the remaining text updates accordingly. A glossary explains important mathematical words and countless images and videos make mathematics more colourful than ever before.
