A YEAR IN NUMBERS: 365 Astonishing Maths Facts
Broken down into 12 chapters that correspond roughly to months of the year - from going 'back to school' with arithmetic and times tables through prime numbers and all the way to the 12 Days of Chris-maths, this book features a collection of 365 fascinating numerical 'nuggets', accompanied by clear, bite-size explanations of the mathematics that underpin them.
Order from Amazon, Waterstones or your favourite independent bookseller!
MATHS TRICKS TO BLOW YOUR MIND: A journey through viral maths
I'm delighted to announce that my first book for adults is out now via Allen & Unwin / Atlantic. It's all about viral maths puzzles and social media maths phenomena. More information here.
"A cornucopia of numerical prestidigitations and other quirky delights. I loved it." - Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up
"A chirpy guide to the most shared maths nuggets on the internet." - Alex Bellos, author of Alex's Adventures in Numberland
POEMS & PARADOXES
P&P is a fun collection of poems and mathematical writings aimed at teens and young adults, but I think a lot of grown-ups will love it too. Available from Tarquin publications, Amazon or the usual places.
HERE COME THE NUMBERS!
Here Come the Numbers is a fun rhyming book about numbers for children, and adults too. Learn about square numbers, negative numbers, prime numbers and much more. Illustrated by my brilliant friend Hana Ayoob. Order it direct from Explaining Science Publishing or from Amazon.
ENDORSEMENTS:
“Utterly charming! Finally, a book that tackles all the basics of numbers for young curious minds – and old curious ones too. Perfectly mixing Kyle Evans’ sharp wit, Hana Ayoob’s quirky characters – and actual real facts – it will keep your budding mathemaniac entertained from every angle. I’ll be whipping it out as soon as my toddler asks “what’s smaller than zero, mummy?” so I don’t have to bluff my way through inferior explanations of my own…” Helen Arney, author of The Element in the Room.
“A charming introduction to some simple, but deep number patterns” Alex Bellos, author of Alex’s Adventures in Numberland.
“This gorgeous, clever maths book is perfect for any parent who wants to introduce their children to the countless wonders that can be found in the world of numbers”.
– Alom Shaha, author of Mr Shaha’s Recipes of Wonder.
