Maths and humour

Více o knize

The artist Markus Roskar and Professor of Mathematics, Georg Glaeser, (who both teach at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna) have written a mathematics book of the other kind . In this book, mathematics sheds its image as an inaccessible, cumbersome science, and acquires an open and emotional dimension. The book is structured on the double-page principle: each double page includes an almost always humorous professional drawing that relates to the text on the other page. This text is written in an easy-going, often humorous, but always mathematically correct manner. It mostly deals with an everyday subject that has a mathematical background or an unorthodox mathematical question. Readers can count on a wealth of surprising solutions to often complex problems.
