How Many Socks Make a Pair? Surprisingly Interesting Everyday Maths

NOT always two, apparently! Behind this curious question lies a world of maths that can be surprising, amusing and even beautiful. If you already like maths you'll discover plenty of new surprises. And if you've never picked up a maths book in your life, this one will change your view of the subject forever. Using playing cards, a newspaper, the back of an envelope, a Sudoku, some pennies and of course a pair of socks, Rob Eastaway shows how maths can demonstrate its secret beauties in even the most mundane of everyday objects.
