How Many Socks Make a Pair?: Surprisingly Interesting Everyday Maths - Softcover
How many socks make a pair? The answer is not always two. And behind this question lies a world of maths that can be surprising, amusing and even beautiful
Using playing cards, a newspaper, the back of an envelope, a Sudoku, some pennies, and of course a pair of socks, Rob Eastaway shows how maths can demonstrate its secret beauties in even the most mundane of everyday objects.
