★Full of fun facts about mathematics, light, funny, even jokey language
★The (Ukrainian) author perversely writes that the book will not be
useful when doing homework, which is not entirely true, because it actually delivers a lot of knowledge
★Fun facts, stories and anecdotes from the mathematical “world”

Did Homer Simpson solve Fermat’s Last Theorem? What does romanesco broccoli have to do with the length of the Portuguese border? What’s the recipe for the perfect free kick?
#matematyka is an original, humorous book that describes what excites mathematicians. It is interwoven with colourful stories from the mathematical underworld (from antiquity to the pres¬ent day). The complicated world of mathematics is presented in everyday language, but without the conceited pretence that everything is just so straightforward!
Reading will not be useful for your homework, but it will defi¬nitely help you become familiar with the Queen of All Sciences.

From the author:
“[...] I must assure you once again that this book will not appeal to anyone. Most of all, it will not appeal to those who love maths because it was written for those who don’t. But even the latter will not be happy with this book because it is about the mathematics
they so dislike. It won’t interest school kids, because they have enough textbooks at school anyway. And teachers quite rightly avoid books not recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science and that have nothing to do with the curriculum. To serious people, the book will seem too frivolous. Yet, for the frivolous there are too many words here that should not be taken lightly.”
