Innumeracy

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
