Why aren’t left-handers extinct?
What makes a rainbow round?
How is a pancreas . . . like a pendulum?
These may not look like math questions, but they are—because they all have to do with patterns. And mathematics, at heart, is the study of patterns.
That realization changed Eddie Woo’s life—by turning the “dry” subject he dreaded in high school into a boundless quest for discovery. Now an award-winning math teacher, Woo sees patterns everywhere: in the “branches” of blood vessels and lightning, in the growth of a savings account and a sunflower, even in his morning cup of tea!
Here are twenty-six bite-size chapters on the hidden mathematical marvels that encrypt our email, enchant our senses, and even keep us alive—from the sine waves we hear as “music” to the mysterious golden ratio.
This book will change your mind about what math can be. We are all born mathematicians—and It’s a Numberful World.
Reviews:
“[Woo] introduces mathematical vocabulary in a fun and approachable way . . . . [This] could easily be used as a textbook for an introductory mathematics seminar or an independent study general math class, or simply be read by anyone who would enjoy a gentle but enthusiastic introduction to a wide variety of interesting mathematical topics.”—Mathematical Association of America
“You probably know acclaimed math teacher Eddie Woo through watching his excellent videos. . . . Well, now there is a book, and it’s a winner. . . . Mr. Woo shows how mathematics lies just beneath the surface in practically every aspect of our lives. What makes it sing is that his engaging personality shines through on every page.”—Keith Devlin, Stanford University mathematician and author of The Language of Mathematics
