The Universe and the Teacup by Kc Cole
Mathematics, that breathtaking invention of ours that reveals the tiniest particles of matter and takes us to the outermost reaches of the cosmos, is found by many people to be intimidating. In The Universe and the Teacup, K. C. Cole demystifies mathematics and shows us-with humor and wonderfully accessible stories-why math need not be frightening. Using the O. J. Simpson trial, the bell curve, and Emmy Noether, the nineteenth-century woman scientist whose work was essential for Einstein's theory of relativity, Cole helps us see that more than just being a tool, math is a key to understanding the beauty of everything from rainbows to relativity.K.C.Cole is a UCLA professor and a scientific columnist for the Los Angeles Times. She lives in Santa Monica, California, and is the author of the international bestsellers The Universe and the Teacup and First You Make a Cloud.
