Humble Pi

A Comedy of Maths Errors

Someone forgets to carry a ‘1’ and a bridge collapses, or a plane falls out of the sky. A building rocks when its resonant frequency matches a gym class leaping to Snap’s hit I’VE GOT THE POWER. A numerical comedy of errors, this book is all about what happens when the maths goes wrong in the real world. The book’s final sum is to reveal the bizarre yet essential place of numbers in our lives.
