Mathematics is not just a series of calculations that you have to memorize until you run out of energy, as you might have thought in school. Professor Jordan Ellenberg proves that our entire world is permeated with mathematics. She demonstrates its hidden beauty and logic and has a direct relationship to our daily lives. The author shows how problems in politics, medicine, business, theology are solved with the help of mathematics. He also explains mathematically how long it takes to get to the airport, what “public opinion” really is, why tall parents have short children, how to win the lottery and many other things.
