Synopsis

'Maths needs more demystifiers, and Junaid Mubeen is here to lift back the veil' Eugenia Cheng, author of The Art of Logic

To many of us, so-called 'pure mathematics is downright baffling. The first question in classrooms is often: when will I use this? Yet, when you start to think like a mathematician, modern life can suddenly make a lot more sense.

In Think Like a Mathematician, Junaid Mubeen shows how using abstract mathematical concepts as thinking tools can enrich our everyday lives - from prime numbers to fractals and the aspects of calculus. Whether you're a mathematician or a self-proclaimed mathophobe, you'll find all of these ideas easy to grasp and rewarding to understand - some may even reshape the way you see the world.
