Aiming to fire her reader’s mathematical imagination, Julia Collins presents an introduction to 50 concepts in mathematics, from ‘fundamental’ topics such as number systems and game theory to the ‘mind-blowing’, including the Riemann hypothesis and other Millennium Prize Problems. Each chapter has five questions to assess your understanding of a concept, ‘Ten Things a Genius Knows’ explaining it, and a bluffer’s guide to make you sound as if you know what you’re talking about.
