Jason Brown (2)

There are lots of little gems in this book. However they are wrapped in a somewhat annoying and at times patronizing prose. I can understand what Brown has tried to do in order to make the subject more accessible, but I think he has missed the mark. People who do not like mathematics or numbers do not need to be treated as if they are reading out loud to the class in Grade 10. That aside it was interesting to read about the mathematics that frequently underlies our everyday life.
