Why aren't left-handers extinct? What makes a rainbow round? How is a pancreas...like a pendulum?
These may not look like math questions, but they are - because they all have to do with patterns. And mathematics, at heart, is the study of patterns.
That realization changed Eddie Woo's life - by turning the "dry" subject he dreaded in high school into a boundless quest for discovery. Now an award-winning math teacher, Woo sees patterns everywhere: in the "branches" of blood vessels and lightning, in the growth of a savings account and a sunflower, even in his morning cup of tea!
Here are 26 bite-size chapters on the hidden mathematical marvels that encrypt our email, enchant our senses, and even keep us alive - from the sine waves we hear as "music" to the mysterious golden ratio.
This audiobook will change your mind about what math can be. We are all born mathematicians - and It's a Numberful World.

Finally, I listened to the audiobook version. While not a fault of the book itself, it is very unsuited to this format; significant stretches of it consist of the tedious enumeration of long sequences of numbers and operations.
Not terribly useful for any level of math knowledge
