An entertaining guide to how maths is relevant to our everyday
lives. Why is it better to buy a lottery ticket on Friday? Why are
showers always too hot or too cold? And which classic puzzle was
destroyed by Allied bombing in the war? These and many other
questions are answers in this entertaining and highly informative
book. Why do Buses Come in Threes? is for anyone who wants to
remind themselves - or discover for the first time - that maths is
relevant to almost everything we do. Dating, cooking, travelling by
car, gambling and life-saving techniques all have links with
intriguing mathematical problems that you will find explained here
- including the odd coincidence of 4 July, the exponential growth
of Australian rabbits and a surprising formula for running in the
rain without getting wet. Whether you have a degree in astrophysics
or haven't touched maths since you left school, this book will
change the way you view the world around you.
