Humble Pi

What makes a bridge wobble when it's not meant to? Billions of dollars mysteriously vanish into thin air? A building rock when its resonant frequency matches a gym class leaping to Snap's 1990 hit I've Got The Power? The answer is maths. Or, to be precise, what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world.

As Matt Parker shows us, our modern lives are built on maths: computer programmes, finance, engineering. And most of the time this maths works quietly behind the scenes, until ... it doesn't. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near-misses and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman empire and a hapless Olympic shooting team, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways maths trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world.Mathematics doesn't have good 'people skills', but we would all be better off, he argues, if we saw it as a practical ally. This book shows how, by making maths our friend, we can learn from its pitfalls. It also contains puzzles, challenges, geometric socks, jokes about binary code and three deliberate mistakes. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

Our dog loves them!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Flavor Name: Chicken
We are very impressed with these Gaines Family Farmstead Chicken chips! Our dog is picky and she absolutely loves them! She just turned 13 so we are trying to give her the best and healthiest. These chicken chips have only one ingredient so they are perfect! We will be ordering again!

Please be.careful
Flavor Name: Chicken
Love the Gaines Family treats, but this one made my 22lb dog deathly ill for 5 days. We feared we would lose him as nothing would stop the diarrhea and retching. He couldn’t even make it through the night without multiple trips outdoors.

Dogs can't get enough
Flavor Name: Chicken
If I let them, my dogs would eat every single piece in one setting. My Chihuahua even dances for them. Will definitely buy again.
