Find out about how maths could help you rescue someone in deadly peril, how not to shoot yourself with a cannon, and meet famous mathematicians who were really hard. And watch out for One Finger Jimmy, Chainsaw Charlie and their gangster friends, who are living proof that maths can be murderous.

From the Author
Handy tricks and trivia
Originally "Murderous Maths" was to be a one-off book, but since its success (in several languages) it is now the first of a series. It contains a range of information, tricks, quirky elements and a reminder of some of the handy basic details which adults have all too often forgotten since school! There are an array of bizarre characters (e.g. Professor Fiendish, Urgum The Axeman, One-Finger Jimmy's mob...) but above all NO BORING EXERCISES and NO NASTY SUMS! Although intended as home entertainment, it is also to be found in many school libraries. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I got it in the afternoon and read 54 pages by bedtime. I couldn't get my eyes out of it! It makes maths very exciting and it's not just normal maths - I also learnt about prime numbers and every clock in the world.
