How did "Murderous Maths" start?
Originally the first two Murderous Maths books were in Scholastic's
"The Knowledge" series (this followed on from the
Horrible Histories and Horrible Science books)
but now they headline their own
"Murderous Maths" series. What makes them different from other
maths books is that they are FUNNY.
All the Murderous Maths books feature a range
of characters including One-Finger Jimmy, Half Smile and their gang, Dolly Snowlips,
Professor Fiendish, Pongo McWhiffy and the terribly lovely Veronica Gumfloss, the evil
Gollarks from the planet Zog, Urgum the Axeman and so on. They also include
sneaky tricks, games, jokes (most of which are repeatable) and what's more -
you'll find yourself picking up all sorts of advice and tips on how to cope
with maths in all its various forms. Despite their irreverent and frivolous
attitude, these books have even found their way into schools and proved to
be a boost to GCSE studies.
The books are also available in foreign editions which already include
German, Spanish, Polish, Greek, Dutch, Norwegian, Turkish, Croatian, Italian,
Lithuanian, Korean, Danish, Chinese, Portugese, French, Hungarian, Swedish, Finnish, Thai, Portuguese (Latin America)...
and a few we can't identify!

Extremely rare picture of Kjartan Poskitt and Philip Reeve both smiling because they each think the other one is about to pay the restaurant bill. |
So who invented Murderous Maths then?
The books are all written by Kjartan Poskitt and the bulk of the artwork is done by Philip Reeve. Click here to find out more about the author and illustrators!

The original "Murderous Maths" book has been published in many different languages including
German, Spanish, Polish, Greek, Dutch, Norwegian, Turkish, Croatian, Italian, Hungarian,
Lithuanian, Korean, Danish, Swedish, Portugese, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Czech, Bulgarian, Finnish... Some of the other books
are also available in other languages (to be honest we're having trouble keeping track
of them all!)
Sadly this site is unable to supply foreign editions, but the
different publishers can easily be traced
by looking up "Kjartan Poskitt" or "Murderous Maths"
through search engines.

 Over the years we've been delighted to have so many families, students and
homeschoolers visiting us from across the Atlantic that we've set up a special USA visitor page.
Here's the USA and CANADA version of the MM Sudoku book which has sold well over 1/2 a million copies!
|
In the meantime we are waiting to hear if/when
American editions will be published, so if you're one of the many visitors
we've had from Virginia, New York, Massachusetts,
California, Ohio or elsewhere in the
US, do please ask at
your local bookstore, or even better contact:
Scholastic Inc. 555 Broadway, New York, NY 10012.
That way you might get a book called
"Murderous Math" rather than "Murderous Maths"!
We would also love to hear from you!
Although Murderous Maths is based in the UK,
we get almost 50% of ALL our site visitors from the USA. We're keen to know why we're doing
so well in your states so please find a
moment to tell us a bit about who YOU are ( student -parent - teacher - kid ?), where you are,
how you found this site, and what you like about it.
All reasonable replies will get a personal
answer - unless you say you don't want one - and we guarantee any information you let us have
will not go to any other organisation. Please use this
special mail address:

Thank you for your interest...
