Conversations with Grant

Más información sobre el libro

Hate maths? Forgotten everything you learned in school? In a tiny teashop in a corner of London, Nix Grimms & Grant O'Neil sit down to talk about maths. Nix does not like maths. Under the astute eyes of the barista - with her suspicious knack for complex equations - Grant has just one year to convince Nix that numbers aren't just for the boffins. Drop the dry numbers: this is a ride through the hotchpotch chronology of mathematics, from cave men counting to the event horizon of a black hole. And how both of those things apply to real life a bit more than you'd expect.
