A hilarious and bestselling reintroduction to mathematics,
illustrating the ideas with stories, humor, and stick figures. In
Math with Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals what math is all about.
His tools are unorthodox: jokes, cartoons, strange-but-true
stories, and beneath it all, the empathy of a veteran teacher who
believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin helps us to
think like mathematicians by teaching a brand-new game of
tic-tac-toe, profiling the ten people you meet in line for the
lottery, and documenting the headaches that ensue when the Evil
Empire attempts to build a spherical Death Star. Math with Bad
Drawings will change the way you see the subject-and the world.
