Reviews
'I found Micka l Launay's fascinating book so enlightening that suddenly maths doesn't seem nearly as fearsome as it once did. Maybe It All Adds Up should, for me at least, have been re-titled It All Makes Sense. At Last. ' Simon Winchester 'An enjoyable and timely tour around the mathematics of everyday life, past and present. Micka l Launay ably demonstrates his thesis that you only have to change how you look at the world to find numbers and patterns in the most unlikely places. And he extends a welcoming and sympathetic hand to those who would like to like mathematics but don't know how.' Benjamin Wardhaugh, author of 'How to Read Historical Mathematics' and 'Gunpowder and Geometry'. 'It's difficult to carry on saying you do not like mathematics, [Mickael Launay] is so good at making this subject - which is so nightmarish for many students - captivating ... The teacher you always dreamt of having' Le Monde
