  • Perfect combination of humor and education

    What I love most about this book is that it’s not too serious to the point that you feel like you’re in a lecture, nor is it too casual that it becomes a fictional book. Mat Parker does an excellent job at making math interesting to the reader and uses unconventional methods used in schools and classes to explain concepts and ideas in math. A must read for anybody who has the slightest interest in math.

    This is a wonderful introduction into both the usefulness and fun of mathematics and logic. It is appropriate for anyone who is curious about mathematics — from a bright high school student to those with advanced degrees in engineering or science who did not have formal training in mathematics for math majors. If you enjoyed any of these titles, you will enjoy this one: - The Drunkard’s Walk by Leonard Mlodinow (a masterpiece) - The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver (another masterpiece) - Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan - Here’s Looking at Euclid by Alex Bellos - Euclid’s Window by Leonard Mlodinow
