Praise for Love Triangle : "A funny and often surprising guide to the history of triangles--and the applications (both practical and highly impractical) of trigonometry." --Tim Harford, Financial Times "A rare book about math sure to make you smile, despite your feelings about the subject. Once again, Parker measures up." -- Kirkus Reviews "Parker has a fine old time with his material, and only a curmudgeon could fail to be charmed." -- The Telegraph (UK) "Matt Parker has made me laugh about math many times by showing just how weird it can get. He's also made me cry about math by showing how transcendently beautiful it is." --Adam Savage, MythBusters co-host and author of Every Tool's a Hammer " Love Triangle is a blissful blend of pure science and pure merriment. Edifying, entertaining, excellent!" --Alex James, food writer and Blur bass player "Fine.


Triangles are now my favorite shape." --Hannah Fry, author of Hello World Praise for Matt Parker and his books "Parker is consistently very funny . highly entertaining." -- The Guardian "[ Humble Pi is] a fascinating and deeply surprising journey into the hilarious and sometimes tragic realm of mathematical error. Brilliant." --Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist and Messy "Fun, informative, and relentlessly entertaining, Humble Pi is a charming and very readable guide to some of humanity's all-time greatest miscalculations." --Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything " Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension shows off math at its most playful and multifarious." --Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to Be Wrong "Matt Parker is some sort of unholy fusion of prankster, wizard, and brilliant nerd--math is rarely this clever, funny, and ever so slightly naughty.


" --Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived.
