Pi of Life

Autor Sunil Singh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2017
Is the most important language in the universe also capable of making us happy in simple and profound ways? Can we really weave the foundations of lifelong joy--humility, gratitude, connection, etc.--through the apparent complexity of numbers? Have we oversold the practicality of mathematics, while ignoring its larger and more human purposes--happiness? In Pi of Life: The Hidden Happiness of Mathematics, Sunil Singh takes the readers on a unique adventure, discovering that all the elements that are essential for lifelong happiness are deeply intertwined with the magic of mathematics. Blending classic wisdom with over 100 pop culture references--music, television and film--Singh whimsically switches the lens in this book from the traditional society teaching math to a new and bold math teaching society. Written with charming buoyancy and intimacy, he takes us on an emotional and surprising journey through the deepest goldmine of mathematics--our personal happiness.
