Story
Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions - in health care, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go, even whom we send to prison. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want? Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. In Hello World she lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing.

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the million-selling What If? and Thing Explainer. For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

Ignition! is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise that eventually took men to the moon.

When was the last time you read a grand statement, accompanied by a large number and wondered whether it could really be true? Statistics are vital in helping us tell stories - we see them in the papers, on social media and we hear them used in everyday conversation - and yet we doubt them more than ever. But numbers - in the right hands - have the power to change the world for the better. Contrary to popular belief, good statistics are not a trick, although they are a kind of magic.

Story
Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.

Precision is the key to everything. It is an integral, unchallenged and essential component of our modern social, mercantile, scientific, mechanical and intellectual landscapes. The items we value in our daily lives - a camera, a phone, a computer, a bicycle, a car, a dishwasher perhaps - all sport components that fit together with precision and operate with near perfection....

Bertrand Russell wrote that mathematics can exalt "as surely as poetry". This is especially true of one equation: ei(pi) + 1 = 0, the brainchild of Leonhard Euler, the Mozart of mathematics. More than two centuries after Euler's death, it is still regarded as a conceptual diamond of unsurpassed beauty. Called Euler's identity, or God's equation, it includes just five numbers but represents an astonishing revelation of hidden connections.

'I have a truly marvellous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.' It was with these words, written in the 1630s, that Pierre de Fermat intrigued and infuriated the mathematics community. For over 350 years, proving Fermat's Last Theorem was the most notorious unsolved mathematical problem, a puzzle whose basics most children could grasp but whose solution eluded the greatest minds in the world.

Not the Martian but just as good
- By Anonymous User on 08-05-2021
Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Humble Pi, written and read by Matt Parker.
We would all be better off if everyone saw mathematics as a practical ally. Sadly, most of us fear maths and seek to avoid it. This is because mathematics doesn't have good 'people skills' - it never hesitates to bluntly point out when we are wrong. But it is only trying to help! Mathematics is a friend which can fill the gaps in what our brains can do naturally.
Luckily, even though we don't like sharing our own mistakes, we love to listen to tales about what happens when maths errors make the everyday go horribly wrong. Matt Parker explores and explains near misses and mishaps with planes, bridges, the internet and big data as a way of showing us not only how important maths is but how we can use it to our advantage. This comedy of errors is a brilliantly told series of disaster stories with a happy ending.

hilarious but tragic
I've been a big fan of Matt's youtube content for a long time now. I was so excited when I started the book and found out Matt was reading it himself. Great sense of humour and interesting stories. The only thing I did find a bit off-putting was the stories that involved a lot of people losing their lives. So much of the book is filled with funny stories where someone loses money or something breaks without serious injury but every now and then you get hit with something like "300 children died". The stories where these things happen are super interesting and I still want to hear about them, I just want to be able to choose when I do it. if the book was in 2 halves or maybe it was 2 separate books, I would still have purchased both.

Making Maths, and its mistakes, unmistakable
First I'd like to thank the legendary Dr Karl (triple j, sleek geeks, and famousfor his very colourful shirts) for having Matt Parker on his podcast "Shirtloads of Science" and letting us know about this great book and audio book.
Matt Parker has a very dry sense of humour when it comes to explaining the failures of what most would consider a "perfect" field like mathematics.
The examples shown in the book are real time examples, explained in pretty much understandable language, and it has actually tweaked my interest in maths again.... 35 years after leaving school.
who would have thought that there was such a thing as "recreational mathematics"!

Audiobook is not the best way to read this
Even though my enjoyment of this book was mixed, I gave this a 4 because I feel it simply does not seem targeted at someone like me, and 3 would be unfair. If you're an engineer, or a programmer, you will likely enjoy parts that are about other fields, however ones from your own are dumbed down for a layperson to understand and their explanations may be quite boring. Aside from that, Matt sometimes goes into excruciating amount of numbers as a joke, but it gets old fast since he does it multiple times in the book. If you're reading a paper copy, you can probably skim the joke, but listening to an audiobook you're exposed to the "joke" for far too long. Also, holding many numbers in your head when listening is simply much harder than if you'd be able to cross reference them visually on paper/e-reader.
The research and content was solid, but the book could use a bit more editing.
Matt's reading is good, but his rhythm of speech could be more fluid - he makes a bit too many unnatural pauses when reading, making it painstakingly obvious he is in fact reading. It's not the natural Matt that you hear on his YouTube channel.

Ineptitude, idiocy, bad luck. All interestesting.
. I am never ceased to be amazed how the blatantly obvious can so easily be missed. Just because a person is intelligent, doesn't mean they can not be blind on occasions. This book is well written and well read stories, and a stark reminder to us all as to the obviousness of hubris at the centre of mankind.
. Good adages to bear in mind for all programmers & designers are:
. Improbable is not the same as impossible. And:
. if it can be misunderstood, it will be. And finally'
. Just because it make no since to do it that way, does not mean it will not be done that way.
. All of these should be especially born in mind when picking up somebody else's work. And even for your own work, if you have to come back to it after a significant length of time.

I listened to this Audio Book whilst carrying out a bathroom renovation. It made the job more enjoyable, for instance when I had to clean the grout, I looked forward to it as I knew I’d be back into the Audio Book.
Matt is easy to listen to and the book isn’t complex. It’s full of interesting mistakes, some which I have heard from before due to my interest in Engineering and Physics.
Highly recommended to make a task more enjoyable.

Numerous take on mathematical mistakes
I’m no master in mathematics, far from it, I have a basic grasp of numbers, and the ability to make my bank account deteriorate quicker than a plane with no fuel. This book is written so well that complicated and sometimes absurd mathematics are made easy to understand without making you feel dumb in the process, quite the opposite, although I’m not sure education is at the forefront of this books agenda. Learning about the speed of light down cables, the Americans inability to conform to the rest of the worlds metric ways and how random isn’t all that random was both fascinating and educational. Great book, well read, well worth your time!
