A BOOK FOR THE ETERNALLY CURIOUS,
Coincidences, Chaos, and All That Math Jazz fuses a
professor s understanding of the hidden mathe¬
matical skeleton of the universe with the distorted
sensibility of a stand-up comedian. Probability?
Monkeys trying to achieve a finished script for Hamlet
through random typing.
Overflowing with almost two hundred hand-drawn
illustrations and diagrams, Coincidences, Chaos, and
All That Math Jazz makes the big questions
those you haven t even thought to ask
and compelling. What happens when an infinite
number of tired baseball players shows up at an
infinite motel? And when their manager shows up?
The fourth dimension is probed from angles never
imagined in science fiction.
Each chapter opens with a surprising insight
not a mathematical formula, but a common
observation. From this starting point, the authors
leapfrog over math and anecdote toward profound
ideas about nature, art, and music. Subconscious
yearning for a sexy rectangle leads us to ponder the
Greek Parthenon, which somehow bumps into
Debussy s scales so convincingly that afterward it s
difficult to even consider aesthetic forms without
noticing their shadow math. This book is Fibonacci s
Sequence and the Golden Ratio through the looking
glass with a dash of Salvador
Letterman thrown in for good measure. It s also for
lovers of puzzles and posers of outlandish questions,
lapsed math aficionados and the formula phobic.
Sure, other books have probably considered the
amorphous nature of our universe, but none has
posed the question Is it possible to remove a pair
of sufficiently stretchable underwear without
removing one s pants? The answer is yes, and
Coincidences, Chaos, and All That Math Jazz has the
adventurous spirit and irreverent philosophy to prove
it
exactly how to do it. Read at your own risk.
