Full Description
This set includes two humorous and quirky collections of mathematical morsels by Burkard Polster (YouTube's Mathologer) and Marty Ross—Putting Two and Two Together: Selections from the Mathologer Files and A Dingo Ate My Math Book: Mathematics from Down Under. The stories in both volumes were written for a general audience and cover current events, sports, and history all flavored with a distinctive bit of Australiana. Both books offer mathematical entertainment for curious readers of all ages and assume a minimum of mathematical background.
