"Variable Time" is a fun book about the math around us. Twenty-eight fascinating stories dealing with different aspects of math are accompanied by the author's amusing drawings. For Orlin, mathematical analysis is a universal language capable of expressing everything we encounter every day - love, risk, time and, most importantly, constant change. The theme of the movement of time is reflected in the titles of the parts of the book, "Moments" and "Eternity," and in its characters, from Sherlock Holmes to Mark Twain to David Foster Wallace. With his characteristic humor and ingenuity, Orlean draws connections between math, art, literature, and a beloved dog named Elvis. The author of the acclaimed "Math with Foolish Drawings" and in this book aims not just to engage the reader in his favorite subject, but to make us wiser and more thoughtful.
