I Bet You Can do Math!

Thomas Rießinger

Calculations for Every Day Life

The math discussed in this entertaining and witty book is the kind of every day calculations that largely go unnoticed even though they are remarkable in their own way.

Readers will discover how a retiree brightens his day with numerical calisthenics and what linear and quadratic equations or the simple Gauss sum have to do with owning a plot in a community garden or training as a salesperson in a supermarket. And who among us couldn’t benefit from using propositional logic to express ourselves more clearly instead of talking in a roundabout way about our thoughts and feelings. Finally, the author takes us on little adventure beyond our planet to teach us how every day math might help us deal with a complete computer failure in infinite space.
