About this product

Product Information

You may have watched hundreds of episodes of The Simpsons (and its sister show Futurama) without ever realising that they contain enough maths to form an entire university course. In The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets, Simon Singh explains how the brilliant writers, some of the mathematicians, have smuggled in mathematical jokes throughout the cartoon's twenty-five year history, exploring everything from to Mersenne primes, from Euler's equation to the unsolved riddle of P vs. NP, from perfect numbers to narcissistic numbers, and much more. With wit, clarity and a true fan's zeal, Singh analyses such memorable episodes as 'Bart the Genius' and 'Homer(3)' to offer an entirely new insight into the most successful show in television history.

5 out of 5 stars

He did not put it down until he had finished reading it!!!
My husband loves mathematics and is a fan of the Simpsons. A friend recommended the book to him, so I ordered it. It arrived about 3:00pm in the afternoon. He immediately picked it up to look at and finally put it down about 1:00am when he had finished it. He said it was excellent and certainly chuckled a lot while reading it. He is very happy with it, and is now reading bits again...and again ...and again. That's easy to do as each chapter relates to an episode. As the title suggests its about Mathematics and The Simpsons so if you are not interested in either of those it might not be the ideal choice.
