Why Do Buses Come In Threes?

An entertaining an highly informative guide for anyone who wants to remind themselves – or discover for the first time – that maths is relevant to almost everything we do.

Whether you have a degree in astrophysics or haven't touched maths since you left school, this book will change the way you view the world around you.
