Description
Math with Bad Drawings Illuminating the Ideas That Shape Our Reality by Ben Orlin is a humorous reeducation in mathematics that sheds light on its countless practical and wonderful ways. With colorful drawings, jokes, and stories, Orlin reveals what math actually is, its uses, symbols, and leaps of logic. This book teaches us to think like mathematicians through engaging examples, such as a new game of tic-tac-toe and understanding economic crises by rolling dice. Orlin's trademark "bad drawings" convey his message with perfect clarity, making complex topics accessible and entertaining. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics, this book is a life-changing read for both math-estranged and math-enamored individuals. Ben Orlin's approach makes math more than just numbers and equations - it's about understanding the world around us.
