🧵 My 3rd book is now out! It is on the fascinating history of math.

How did people throughout history think about math?What problems did they care about? How did they express them? How were they solved?

This book includes a lot of historical math.

Euclid’s Elements should be included here

Arguably the 50 most influential books in history.

Most of us spent 12+ years in school and were assigned almost none of them.

How many have you read?

@stevenstrogatz @mathandcobb @littlebrown @BNBuzz Exciting! Can’t wait!

Is this the first time you wrote a book with someone else? Did you enjoy it?

[Steven Strogatz @stevenstrogatz]

Happy to announce my new book, with Alex Townsend. It's about the math behind enormous systems (medical scans, AI, etc.) and what happens when they outgrow our ability to understand them. More info (and pre-order for 25% off) at:
