How many socks make a pair? The answer is not always two. And behind
this question lies a world of maths that can be surprising, amusing and
even beautiful. Using playing cards, a newspaper, the back of an
envelope, a Sudoku, some pennies and of course a pair of socks, Rob
Eastaway shows how maths can demonstrate its secret beauties in even the
most mundane of everyday objects. If you already like maths you'll
discover plenty of new surprises. And if you've never picked up a maths
book in your life, this one will change your view of the subject
forever.
