    [synopsis] => Eddie Woo, one of the world's top ten teachers and a YouTube phenom, delivers a rollicking, must-listen pop-math book.

Why is a rainbow curved? Why aren't left-handers extinct? How is a sunflower like a synchronized swimmer? What makes 2.718 a magic number?

These may not look like math questions at first glance-but they are, because they all have to do with patterns. And mathematics, at heart, is the study of patterns-from familiar shapes and symmetries, to mysterious values like the golden ratio, which seem to crop up wherever you look for them.

Looking for patterns changed Eddie Woo's life-by turning the "dry" subject he had dreaded in high school into a boundless exploration suffused with joy. Today, he's an award-winning math teacher, and now, he's here to win you over, too. Here are twenty-six bite-size chapters on Woo's favorite mathematical marvels-from the synchronized sine waves we hear as "music," to the immense prime numbers (once a mere curiosity) that are now essential to data encryption.

This book will change your mind about what math can be. We are all born mathematicians-and It's a Numberful World!
