How to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the maths of modern life
'Maths needs more demystifiers, and Junaid Mubeen is here to lift back the veil' Eugenia Cheng, author of The Art of Logic
To many of us, so-called 'pure mathematics is downright baffling. The first question in classrooms is often: when will I use this? Yet, when you start to think like a mathematician, modern life can suddenly make a lot more sense.
In Think Like a Mathematician, Junaid Mubeen shows how using abstract mathematical concepts as thinking tools can enrich our everyday lives - from prime numbers to fractals and the aspects of calculus. Whether you're a mathematician or a self-proclaimed mathophobe, you'll find all of these ideas easy to grasp and rewarding to understand - some may even reshape the way you see the world.
