The follow-up to the highly successful Weird Maths takes us deeper into the wonderful weirdness of mathematics
Even the most enthusiastic of maths students probably at one time wondered when exactly it would all prove useful in ´real life´. Well, maths reaches so far and wide through our world that, love it or hate it, we´re all doing maths almost every minute of every day.

David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee go in search of the perfect labyrinth, journey back to the second century in pursuit of ´bubble maths´, reveal the weirdest mathematicians in history and transform the bewildering into the beautiful, delighting us once again.
´The brilliant combination of an accomplished science writer and a young mathematical prodigy has resulted in page after page that oozes enthusiasm, clarity and intrigue... A weird but truly wonderful read.´
Bobby Seagull, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Numbers and co-presenter of Monkman & Seagull´s Genius Guide to Britain
