"Cut pizzas in new and fairer ways! Fit a coin through an impossibly small hole! Make a perfect regular pentagon by knotting a piece of paper! Tie your shoes faster than ever before, saving literally seconds of your life! Use those extra seconds to contemplate the diminishing returns of an exclamation-point at the end of every bullet-point! Make a working computer out of dominoes! Maths is a game. This book can be cut, drawn in, folded into shapes and will even take you to the fourth dimension. So join stand-up mathematician Matt Parker on a journey through narcissistic numbers, optimal dating algorithms, at least two different kinds of infinity and more. Matt Parker, known as the Stand-up Mathematician, can be seen talking about maths on the BBC and at science fairs. Originally a maths teacher from Australia, Matt now does stand-up comedy in Guildford, England"--Provided by publisher.
