'enjoyably clever ...with vividly illustrated chapters about the real-world applications of algebra, geometry, probability theory...It's Du Sautoy, in the end, who provides the wisest commentary' Steven Poole, Guardian
'If you thought Maths was all about long stuff, like long division and long multiplication and taking a long, long time to figure things out, Marcus du Sautoy shows that it's just the opposite. Full of humour, stories and the lightest of touches, this is a sight-seeing tour of some of the world's greatest neat dodges, unexpected turns and useful cut-throughs. Prepare to be caught short' Michael Rosen
