Media Reviews
Britain's most brilliant and prolific populariser of mathematics -- Alex Bellos * Guardian *
Ian really is unsurpassed as raconteur of the world of numbers. He guides us on a mind-boggling journey from the ultra trivial to the profound. Thoroughly entertaining -- Jeremy Webb * New Scientist *
As the professor darts randomly from digital cubes to the hairy ball theorem with boundless playful curiosity, even those with only a sluggish interest in maths will find something to amuse and amaze * Sunday Telegraph *
Anyone with a slight geeky bent to them, whether they be adult or teenager, will find plenty to edify, tickle and tantalise them. It'd make a wonderful present ... I can't wait for the next volume. Highly recommended * Bookbag *
