A book for the eternally curious, Coincidences fuses a
professor’s understanding of the hidden mathematical skeleton of
the universe with the sensibility of a stand-up comedian, making
life’s big questions accessible and compelling. Each chapter
opens with a surprising insight—not a mathematic formula, but a
common observation. From there, the authors leapfrog over math and
anecdote toward profound ideas about nature, art, and music.
Coincidences is a book for lovers of puzzles and posers of
outlandish questions, lapsed math aficionados and the
formula-phobic alike.
