Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension

Stand-up mathematician, star of 'Festival of the Spoken Nerd', Matt Parker takes us on a riotous journey through the infinite possibilities of numbers in our everyday lives

This is the complete guide to exploring the fascinating world of maths you were never told about at school. Stand-up comedian and mathematician Matt Parker uses bizarre Klein Bottles, unimaginably small pizza slices, knots no one can untie and computers built from dominoes to reveal some of the most exotic and fascinating ideas in mathematics. Starting with simple numbers and algebra, this book goes on to deal with inconceivably big numbers in more dimensions than you ever knew existed. And always with something for you to make or do along the way.
