Is headbanging a mathematical certainty? Can you turn a pile of batteries into a new proof? Can you use a cannon to beat Googol? What does a mathematician have against giant peas?
In his first book, David Eelbode uses mathematics - served with a more than generous splash of humour - to answer these questions, and much more. Using space as a metaphor and a captivating thread, he invites you to embark on a delightful trip to an absurd universe, where numbers and formulas meet low flying pianos and drunk wombats. So buckle up for this funny voyage to Planet Maths and its inhabitants!
