Woo’s Wonderful World of Maths

Why is a rainbow curved? Why aren’t left-handers extinct? How is a sunflower like a synchronised swimmer? Why is ‘e’ a magic number?The answer to these questions is contained within one simple word: MATHS. Because maths is all about patterns, and our universe is extraordinarily patterned.With enthusiasm, humour and heart, Eddie Woo shows how card tricks, conspiracy theories, teacups, killer butterflies, music, lightning and so much more illuminate the spellbinding world of maths that surrounds us. LONGLISTED FOR THE ABIA GENERAL NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019‘I never thought I’d read a maths book cover to cover, let alone sing its praises. Eddie Woo makes maths fun, accessible and relevant. Now we can all benefit from his extraordinary skill as a teacher.’JENNY BROCKIE, journalist and TV host’Not just a great teacher, Woo’s Wonderful World of Maths shows Eddie to be a storyteller too. Is there anything the Woo cannot do?’ADAM SPENCER, Ambassador for Mathematics, University of Sydney
