In the same inimitable, entertaining way she did in her previous bestselling books, A Slice of Pi and Numbers Are Forever, Liz will take readers from number-phobics to mathematical know-it-alls in no time at all.
Peppered with absolutely terrible maths jokes and quirkily illustrated by Steven Appleby, this light-hearted but informative book will appeal to anyone with an enquiring mind.

A very simple book about maths.
1. I like the 5 number trick.
2. 888+88+8+8+8=1000
3. 100=123+4-5+67-89, 100=1+2+34-5+67-8+9, 100=1+2+3-4+5+6+78+9
4. 9109 = prime number = multiply by 1 to 9 to see pattenr
5. Circular prime number - 17
6. Sexy primes number pairs differ by 6
7. Cutting a pizza? Number of pieces = (n^2+n+2)/2 where n is number of cuts
