Matematyczne szkiełko i oko. Mniej i bardziej poważne zastosowania matmy

Nie ma litości, jest matematyka! Matematyka to potęga do potęgi Czy wiesz, że matematyka to nie czarna magia, tylko dowcip, inteligencja i odrobina tajemniczości w czystej formie? Tak, tak. To nie żadna ściema czy inna niewiadoma. Zamiast włączać telewizor albo odpalać kolejną gierkę w sieci, otwórz tę książkę. Dzięki odkryciom matematyki przekonasz się, jak można odpowiedzieć na niezwykle frapujące pytania z codziennego życia - także Twojego własnego. Ile liczb mieści się na końcu szpilki? Na czym polega geometria bazgrołów? Co język C++ ma wspólnego z ponętną Moniką? Ile kompotu można wypić, gdy pan Czesław ma kolonoskopię? I wreszcie wyższa szkoła jazdy: jak odkodować PIN do lodówki algorytmem spigot? Okazuje się, że nieznana kraina faktów, teorii, hipotez, przełomowych eksperymentów i odkryć, dowodów, pojęć i matematycznych idei to nic innego jak nasze życie. A w życiu, jak w matematyce - jeden błąd może popsuć wszystko. Lepiej więc wiedzieć więcej i spojrzeć w zagadkowe oczy matmy. Nie taki X straszny, jak go malują…
