'BRILLIANTLY CLEAR AND CAPTIVATING PROSE' STEPHEN FRY




A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR 2023

How can pi help you win Rock Paper Scissors?



Crossing oceans, continents and millennia, award-winning mathematician Marcus du Sautoy explores how maths and games have always been deeply intertwined. As well as being integral to human psychology and culture throughout the ages, games provided the first opportunities for deep mathematical insight into the world. This grand adventure teaches us how to strategise, play better and win more often.
