Book Description
A mathematical Pandora's box released is perhaps the best way to describe this book. It overflows with ideas, flitting from one fascinating topic to the next, often without an apparent connection. The range is impressive. Chartier (Davidson College) covers topics such as using M&Ms and the sine curve to estimate a value of pi, using matrices
