Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World
Next, Matt Parker’s bestseller is titled “Humble Pi” The reviews for this book speak for themselves, but a common theme is its captivating nature. Turns out that pi's not as humble as one could imagine. That many people actually did die as a result of many of the errors is tragic and definitely takes most of the fun from the comedy. Put the book name aside, it's a magnificent read into how maths goes bump in everywhere.
Kids won’t be able to put this book down, which is very understandable considering Parker is a stand-up comedian and math lover. More specifically, he dedicates his time to exploring all sorts of mishaps (from trivial to very serious) that have happened because of math errors. Fortunately, Parker’s hobby is a great way to show kids just how important math is in the real world and how much people rely on it. “Humble Pi” is a fun math book that kids of all ages would enjoy, but in order to understand the concepts behind the stories, Toplist recommends it for kids above 10 years old.
