Who said that numbers are for swots only? Enough chalk and blackboard, no more exams and oral tests: this second course from our maths menus delivers any kind of curiosity. For all the gourmets who appreciated the first episode in this mini-series dedicated to recreative maths, here’s a chance to read a second treat, where curiosities and the playful aspects of arithmetic, geometry and logic are described: as lightly as the first time, but with some more poetic licence.
Appetite for mathematics will come with reading!
