I've never seen a math book so bad at maths.

[Kong You · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy read

[Malak Alenezi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it. Easy to understand and read. Gives you some fun facts that can be traced back to mathematics and just some information about how math works, where numbers come from, etc.

Just some facts about maths. Not a book about mathematical thinking like the title

[Connor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good explanation of interesting mathematical concepts. However, the poor formatting and layout was distracting at times.

3.5

[Dominick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Look, it isn't rocket science: if you like math, then you'll like this book. Its... got a lot of numbers, I guess?

This review has gone too long and I only said two sentences.

Al termine della lettura non ho ancora capito quale sia il target di lettori a cui l'autrice pensava. I temi matematici sono trattati in modo semplicistico e superficiale, talora con errori. Gli esempi riescono a rendere le spiegazioni ancora più confuse. Inoltre l'edizione è pessima: sparsi qua e là errori di traduzione, refusi tipografici e addirittura note lasciate dai correttori di bozze.
