Book Description HTML

Picture this. You're standing around the water cooler at the office, sharing comments about last nights favorite sitcom. Here comes "Joe the Jerk," the buffoon of the office staff. He butts in with, "have you heard the latest about the farmers daughter?" He launches into his latest off color joke completing ignoring the gender or makeup of his audience. When he finally finishes, an uncomfortable silence falls across the group. Moments later one or two people may offer a half hearted chuckle and the group breaks up heading back to their workplace amid an uncomfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately this, or something similar, happens every day around the globe. There's no doubt about it, laughter truly is the best medicine.

    A good selection (albeit without any discernible order) of topics to hopefully get readers interested in some mathematics (and a little physics) beyond secondary school level. Breezily discussed, without the depth that would lose readers; anyone who wants depth can proceed with the keywords in the Internet. By flipping through it, I only found one small error, which indicates that it probably has very few errors throughout, which in itself is an accomplishment. Recommendable

    Well written, topics appealing to the reader. No need to have a math background, quite easy to understand. A little more information for the reader on some topics would improve the book.

    As a post-college member of society I've been on a mission to expand my horizons, more specifically a quest of giving second chances (particularly to things that once made me curse the heavens) thus my reading a book about math. A friend of mine suggested it and I can honestly say that no bias in the world could have made me like math...nope, either math won me over or my heart would remain stone. (I went to an arts college that did not require math classes...one of the reasons I picked it.) Friends, this book is such a great delight that I needed to share it. It's made me think about the Universe a little differently and although I may not go out and take a Trig class it certainly challenged my long held feelings on this mysterious thing called 'math.' The book is a quick read with short (but insightful) chapters and not a hint of confusing math lingo. Not once did I feel like I was being lectured at but rather a dialogue was being created between myself and the author. I felt that the author simply wanted to share his love and passion for a subject he sees being misunderstood all the time. I cannot recommend this book more...but I%u2019ll try! It%u2019s an amazing read and a great way to inspire those who thought they were done with math. Perhaps it will inspire someone to re-explore math but at the very least I believe it will lead to understanding and respecting math for the beautiful part of the Universe it is.
