Description
Maths - for decades thought obscure, dusty and irrelevant - is now hip and trendy. Who'd have predicted that? Well, mathematicians, obviously, using probability theory and algorithms and all that stuff. The Bluffer's Guide to Maths will show aspiring mathematicians how to solve imponderable problems such as dividing a dinner bill into seven (two diners not drinking, three with tiramisu) to how to explain the world's greatest mathematical conundrums in three easy pieces.

Person
Author Rob Ainsley enrolled in the University of Life at the start of the 1960 academic year. He is currently heading for a third. He read maths at Oxford and his tutors had to admit they were surprised when he passed his finals in 1982. Most of them thought he'd been studying something else.
