Maths and Humour : Solving everyday problems with mathematics, Paperback / softback Book

Maths and Humour : Solving everyday problems with mathematics Paperback / softback

Part of the Edition Angewandte series

Paperback / softback

Description

The artist Markus Roskar and Professor of Mathematics, Georg Glaeser, (who both teach at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna) have written a mathematics book of the other kind.

In this book, mathematics sheds its image as an inaccessible, cumbersome science, and acquires an open and emotional dimension. The book is structured on the double-page principle: each double page includes an almost always humorous professional drawing that relates to the text on the other page.

This text is written in an easy-going, often humorous, but always mathematically correct manner.

It mostly deals with an everyday subject that has a mathematical background or an unorthodox mathematical question.

Readers can count on a wealth of surprising solutions to often complex problems.
