Eruvin Math: An Algebraic Analysis of Masechta Eruvin And Additional Notes

The Tractate Eruvin is one of the most difficult ones to grasp. Its complicated cases are difficult to picture and many topics depend on intricate mathematical calculations.Eruvin Math dives into some of the interesting mathematical gems contained in the tractate, with clear graphics, charts, and formulas, written in a lucid and candid style that makes Eruvin more accessible and enjoyable, even to those without a strong background in Talmud study or mathematics.Eruvin Math focuses heavily on algebra, and a little bit on trigonometry. The book relies on visual demonstrations, and may be unique in style in which the graphics and text often flow together. Rabbi Goldson with his mastery of mathematics and ability to present diagrams and pictures makes the topics much more easily comprehensible.There are many additional articles in the book that are not math nor graphic related, such as when the simple reading of the Talmudic text or classic commentaries aren't 100% clear and the problems and possible solutions are shown, or where the author felt he had a novelty to contribute, using his mathematical expertise and systematic approach to explain various topics shedding new light in solving the difficulties that are inherent in their true understanding.The book's primary language is English, while many words and phrases are in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish.The Appendix includes the fundamentals of Trigonometry and the basics of Astronomy.
