Maths on the Back of an Envelope Bewertungen

'A delightfully accessible guide to how to play with numbers' - Dr Hannah Fry, author of Hello World and The Mathematics of Love

'Put aside those calculators and computers, and find a pen and piece of paper! In a collection of riveting tips and examples, Eastaway shows us amazing short-cuts to get rough answers to important questions. I still find it remarkable that 16% of 25 is exactly the same as 25% of 16!' - Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter, author of The Art of Statistics

'Another terrific book by Rob Eastaway' - Simon Singh

'Packed with fun examples and fresh ideas. I thought I was on top of this subject, but I learned a lot' - Tim Harford
