Humble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors by Matt Parker
5.0
I love maths. I really do. I am not very good at it which is precisely what I love about it. Its difficulty.
So, I have really enjoyed this book. It is a bit math/programming heavy but interesting enough that if you vaguely understand the maths, it makes for an enjoyable read. All the maths bits are explained so nothing is too far from being understood and appreciated.
The combination of silly but sometimes critical maths errors that happen in the world with the hilarious comedy style (and narration) of Matt Parker and you get the most fun you can extract out of things going wrong.
