Starting with basic arithmetic and geometry, Things To Make and Do teaches us the math we never got to enjoy at school.
How can math help you choose a second-hand car? Why is a text message like a Sudoku? How much fun can you have with a barcode? Matt Parker explains that math is difficult because it's one of the few subjects that requires us to train our brains to think in an entirely new way, and to confront things with no direct analogy in everyday life-imaginary numbers, snowflakes that only exist in 196884 dimensions, and objects beyond infinity-and shows us why it's worth the effort. Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension is an alternative math class.
