Publisher's summary

“The man is quite possibly certifiable insane but is undeniably a brilliant tutor.”

John has been training the mythical mathematical creatures known as actuaries for nearly 20 years. Join John as he tries to help recalcitrant student actuaries pass their professional exams armed with nothing but a copy of the actuarial tables and a sense of humor.

Experience his Basil Fawlty-like antics as he strives to maximize the likelihood of socially awkward actuaries being able to survive in the “normal” world.

We’re 95 percent confident that this will be the perfect gift for actuaries and other math geeks everywhere. Please note that our statistical model of enjoyment makes the (rather heroic) assumption that they have a sense of humor in the first place.

Laugh out loud humor for a very specific audience

I thought this book was hysterical. But I must confess that I am an American actuary who appreciates British humor.

If you get math humor you might like this

The first half is a bit rough as the author / narrator (both the same person) takes a bit of time laying down his background.

I would say this book is geared more towards those that have taught classes like math or go to conferences where a joke like why did 7 8 9, because 7 thought 9 was a pi.

In short an enjoyable listen to while commuting.
