From atom bombs to rebounding slinkies, open your eyes to the
mathematical magic in the everyday.
Mathematics isn't just for academics and scientists, a fact
meteorologist and blogger Peter Lynch has spent the past several years
proving through his Irish Times newspaper column and blog, That's
Maths.
Here, he shows how maths is all around us, with chapters on the
beautiful equations behind designing a good concert venue, predicting
the stock market and modelling the atom bomb, as well as playful
meditations on everything from coin-stacking to cartography. If you left
school thinking maths was boring, think again!
