PRAISE FOR 'LIFE BY NUMBERS'

'Not in many, many years have I seen a book nearly as instructive, enlightening, and sheer fun about the beauty of mathematics. Life by Numbers is truly superb' (Amir Aczel, author of Fermat's Last Theorem)

'A beautiful book ... The aim is not to teach but to entertain, and it succeeds. The view that mathematics is dull is replaced by an image of how math can be both interesting and useful' (New Scientist)
