The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus: The Mathematics of Christmas

Mathematics meets the magic of Christmas in this unique and humorous exploration of the festive season. Using game theory, Markov chains, and beautiful equations, Hannah Fry and Thomas Oléron Evans reveal the surprising side of Christmas, from predicting the Queen's message to calculating Santa's weight gain.

With its engaging blend of math and humor, this book is a refreshing take on the holiday season. Now with a brand new chapter, it's a stocking-full of mathematical marvels that will brighten up even the bleakest of midwinters.
