      OK, with the title of “Math with Bad Drawings,” I’m not quite sure what I expected, but I’m not disappointed. It is not heavy on the math, meaning there is enough English to make reading it enjoyable.

      I haven’t sat down and read the book yet; I’ve done the “let’s check out this part” routine. I plan on starting it this weekend. I don’t have the book in front of me, but there is one chapter about Darth Vader’s Death Star that I’m looking forward to reading.

      Once I’m finished, the rating may increase. 🙂

      Fun to read. A little slow for an adult.
      A lot of witty sarcasm; a little too much for me.

      this is a great fun way to think about the many ways that math is part of our lives. i’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate it into middle school math, so if anyone out there has some ideas…

      I am not facile in math and have no desire to tackle difficult equations. But I do recognize that math is fundamental to the world as we conceive it. This book gave me insight to the underlying principles of mathematics and was both interesting and enjoyable.

    5. Kathy/Jim W. (verified owner)

      Very clear explanations. Range of topics covered a bit thin for someone with accounting background. i.e. I already knew 50% or more. For general population probably great.

    6. Ian Simon (verified owner)

      The first few chapters had specific mathematical concepts. Subsequent chapters seemed to focus on more abstract and broader topics of mathematical applications in society. I was hoping for more interesting mathematical concepts, but it was still very interesting and an enjoyable read.

      I wish chapters from this book accompanied text book readings in various courses while I was in school. Pragmatism and humor make the complex digestible… and entertaining!

    8. Niche (verified owner)

      This was a pretty slow start for me. The humor didn’t really click, and I didn’t find if particularly engaging until probability and statistics came to the fore about a third in. It mostly argues that math isn’t some esoteric and impractical exercise, but instead a language of logic.
