Beschreibung

<b>From bestselling author of <i>Fermat's Last Theorem</i>, a must-have for number lovers and <i>Simpsons</i> fans</b><b> 'An entertaining picture of the insanely high-minded nature of the Simpsons' writers'</b> <i>Sunday Times</i><i><b>'</b></i><b>A valuable, entertaining book that, above all, celebrates a supremely funny, sophisticated show'</b> <i>Financial Times</i> You may have watched hundreds of episodes of <i>The Simpsons</i> (and its sister show <i>Futurama</i>) without ever realising that they contain enough maths to form an entire university course. In <i>The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets</i>, Simon Singh explains how the brilliant writers, some of the mathematicians, have smuggled in mathematical jokes throughout the cartoon's twenty-five year history, exploring everything from to Mersenne primes, from Euler's equation to the unsolved riddle of P vs. NP, from perfect numbers to narcissistic numbers, and much more. With wit, clarity and a true fan's zeal, Singh analyses such memorable episodes as 'Bart the Genius' and 'Homer³' to offer an entirely new insight into the most successful show in television history.
