**The First Ever Maths Book to be a No.1 Bestseller** 'Wonderful ... superb' Daily Mail Our modern lives are built on maths, and most of the time it works quietly behind the scenes. However, when things go wrong, they can have disastrous consequences. In his new book, Humble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors, Matt Parker explores a litany of glitches, near-misses, and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman empire, and even an Olympic shooting team. These stories reveal how maths can trip us up, but also its essential place in our world. Parker argues that we would all be better off if we saw maths as a practical ally rather than something to fear. This book contains puzzles, challenges, jokes about binary code, and three deliberate mistakes. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.
