Reviews

Ben Orlin is such an interesting thinker, he is a wonderful mix of informed, funny and creative. This book is a delight, pages and pages of engaging math games. I will carry this with me everywhere, and my mathematical thinking will be better because of it. --Jo Boaler, Stanford Professor & cofounder of youcubed I'm loving this math book with puzzles. Such a gentle, playful way to teach these abstract concepts. Like a pill pocket for math! --Allie Brosh, author of Hyperbole and a Half Mathematicians keep insisting that math is fun, but most people who have taken a math class might be skeptical. Ben Orlin's new book of mathematical games reveals where the fun has been lurking all along. The games themselves are easy to learn, promise hours of enjoyment, and will introduce you to some pretty advanced concepts along the way. --Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime
