Change Is the Only Constant by Ben Orlin

Change Is the Only Constant by Ben Orlin

By spinning 28 engaging mathematical tales, Orlin shows us that calculus is simply another language to express the very things we humans grapple with every day - love, risk, time and, most importantly, change. Divided into two parts, "Moments" and "Eternities," and drawing on everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Mark Twain to David Foster Wallace, Change is the Only Constant unearths connections between calculus, art, literature and a beloved dog named Elvis. This is not just maths for maths' sake; it's maths for the sake of becoming a wiser and more thoughtful human.

Ben Orlin is the author of the book Math With Bad Drawings and the blog of the same name. His writing on math and education has appeared in The Atlantic, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, Slate, Vox and Popular Science. He has taught middle and high school mathematics in Oakland, California and in Birmingham, England and has spoken about maths at college and universities across the U.S. He currently lives in Northampton, Massachusetts.
