It’s a Numberful World: How Math Is Hiding Everywhere

This book considers questions such as why left-handers have not disappeared, why rainbows are round, and how a pancreas can resemble a pendulum. It connects these seemingly unrelated questions through patterns, presenting mathematics as the study of patterns. Eddie Woo’s own experience appears as well: in high school he dreaded math, before that realization turned the subject into an ongoing search for discovery.
