I love this book and recommend it to anyone who likes maths (like myself) I also like history so this book was just made for me. It is funny and factual at the same time. It really helped me understand maths in a simple yet not complicated way. I think it is very cleverly written having just the right amount of facts and just the right amount of fun in it too.

I really like this book as it has a lot of information on the evolution and invention of maths. Along with that, the added humour in this book makes it even better.

It was very funny. The best bit was the geeky Greeks.

I like this book because it tells you all about maths such as how we count in base 10 and explains all about binary numbers.
