Math with silly drawings: Ideas that shape our reality
29.99 €
Do you shudder when you think back to your high school math class? That's normal, because you weren't taught by Ben Orlean, the author of this book. However, it took him a while to explain to his students that math is the basis of everything from the lottery to Star Wars, from chocolate cake recipes to elections. And that the one who has mastered the basics of exact science, gets the opportunity to understand the nature and structure of things and phenomena around us.
Orlin acts not only as a teacher, but also as an illustrator: his funny little men and scribbles have won over thousands of schoolchildren, and they will win you over as well. Elegant puns and funny associations, mind games and digital riddles (each of which you will get an elegant and ironic solution to) and, of course, his famous trademark drawings (which, contrary to the title, are not so stupid) allow Orlin to easily and wittily convey the most complex and profound mathematical ideas and convince you that even math can be terribly interesting.
