Описание: Why is a rainbow curved? Why aren't left-handers extinct? How is a sunflower like a synchronised swimmer? Why is 'e' a magic number?The answer to these questions is contained within one simple word: MATHS. Because maths is all about patterns, and our universe is extraordinarily patterned.With enthusiasm, humour and heart, Eddie Woo shows how card tricks, conspiracy theories, teacups, killer butterflies, music, lightning and so much more illuminate the spellbinding world of maths that surrounds us.LONGLISTED FOR THE ABIA GENERAL NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019'I never thought I'd read a maths book cover to cover, let alone sing its praises. Eddie Woo makes maths fun, accessible and relevant. Now we can all benefit from his extraordinary skill as a teacher.'JENNY BROCKIE, journalist and TV host'Not just a great teacher, Woo's Wonderful World of Maths shows Eddie to be a storyteller too.

Описание: Eddie Woo, one of the world's top ten teachers and a YouTube phenom, delivers a rollicking, must-listen pop-math book. Why is a rainbow curved? Why aren't left-handers extinct? How is a sunflower like a synchronized swimmer? What makes 2.718 a magic number? These may not look like math questions at first glance-but they are, because they all have to do with patterns. And mathematics, at heart, is the study of patterns-from familiar shapes and symmetries, to mysterious values like the golden ratio, which seem to crop up wherever you look for them. Looking for patterns changed Eddie Woo's life-by turning the "dry" subject he had dreaded in high school into a boundless exploration suffused with joy. Today, he's an award-winning math teacher, and now, he's here to win you over, too. Here are twenty-six bite-size chapters on Woo's favorite mathematical marvels-from the synchronized sine waves we hear as "music," to the immense prime numbers (once a mere curiosity) that are now essential to data encryption. This book will change your mind about what math can be. We are all born mathematicians-and It's a Numberful World
