The perfect introduction to the power of mathematics - fluent, friendly and practical.
A clear, straightforward, informative guide to understanding numbers. I wish I'd read it years ago.
An excellent, straightforward introduction to usefulness of numbers, which gets to the heart of why maths is so important to all of us.
A fine and valuable read. Johnson applies careful analysis and great common sense to an extraordinary range of applications of mathematical ideas, from football to filter bubbles - explaining formal ideas with minimum technicalities, and weighing their relevance to the real world.
