John Allen Paulos is the maths teacher I found twenty-five years too late
Sean French, Independent
Innumeracy would improve the quality of thinking of virtually anyone
Isaac Asimov
Paulos provides much in this book that is thought-provoking and informative. Markets can sucker even a maths professor. At least he can explain why
Financial Times
Paulos mixes high mathematics with the kind of stories that make you laugh
Daily Telegraph
Taught me more about the handling of numbers in real life than a thousand hours of maths teaching
Simon Jenkins, The Times
This elegant little survival manual is brief, witty and full of practical applications
Stefan Kanfer, Time
