How Math Explains the World

How math makes both science and the world tick. It reveals how seemingly arcane mathematical investigations and discoveries have led to bigger, more world-shaking insights into the nature of our world. It tells the stories of the mathematical thinkers who discerned some of the most fundamental aspects of our universe. Quantum Mechanics, space-time, chaos theory, and the workings of the complex systems, and the impossibility of a "perfect" democracy are all here. Friendly , entertaining and fun.
