We humans are a curious species, prone to think, ruminate, reflect, cogitate, mull over, and philosophize. We long to explain away the world aruond us, to answer all those seeming unanswerables. Why are we here? Is there a God? Is there life after death? And, above all, how many houseflies does it take to pull a car?
A confirmed and superior geek, Dr. Graham Tattersall has rescued math from the prison of the classroom and put it to use in novel and unexpected ways to explain some oft-pondered mysteries of the world. Geekspeak is an essential tool that will help আপনি exercise your brain and solve the unsolvable, make আপনি sound intelligent so আপনি can impress your friends, and enable আপনি to better understand the fascinating world in which we live in ways never possible before.
Math has a new champion, and the geeks a new king.
