Our whole world rests in mathematics - from computer code to equations that allow designing skyscrapers and bridges. But mathematics works modestly and imperceptibly, and we do not pay attention to it until. . .
It would seem that mathematical mistakes can have very serious consequences.
Mathematics can be easily ignored until the small error in the calculations will bring down the stock market, will not lead to the crash of the aircraft or stop the military ship in the middle of the ocean.
Exploring and explaining all kinds of glitches, misses and inconsistencies associated with the Internet, financial data, elections, lotteries, the Roman Empire and Olympic teams, Matt Parker reveals the unthinkable ways with which mathematics confuses us, and proves the significance of its place in Our world
