Beautiful, simple, exact, crazy: mathematics in the real world

In this vibrant work, which is ideal for both teaching and learning, Apoorva Khare and Anna Lachowska explain the mathematics essential for understanding and appreciating our quantitative world.

They show with examples that mathematics is a key tool in the creation and appreciation of art, music, and literature, not just science and technology.

The book covers basic mathematical topics from logarithms to statistics, but the authors eschew mundane finance and probability problems.
