LOVE TRIANGLE - MATT PARKER KARTONIERT (TB)

A #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER  Explore the life-changing magic of trigonometry with Matt Parker
stand-up mathematician and No. 1 bestselling author of Humble Pi   Why can no two people ever
see the same rainbow? What happens when you pull a pop song apart into pure sine waves and play
it back on a piano? Why does the wake behind a duck always form an angle of exactly 39 degrees?
And what did mathematicians have to do with the great pig stampede of 2012? The answer to each
of these questions can be found in the triangle.  In Love Triangle   stand-up comedian 
ex-maths teacher and Sunday Times number one bestselling author Matt Parker is on a mission to
prove why we should all show a lot more love for triangles  along with the useful trigonometry
and geometry they enable. To make his point  he uses triangles to create his own digital avatar
survive a harrowing motorcycle ride  cut a sandwich into three equal parts  and measure tall
buildings while wearing silly shoes. But soon these hare-brained experiments begin to reveal a
genuinely important truth: triangles are the hidden pattern beneath the surface of the
contemporary world  used in everything from GPS to CGI via Spotify streaming  the play button
and your best mate's triangle tattoo.  Join Matt Parker as he demonstrates why there's more to
triangles than Pythagoras and SOHCAHTOA. Triangles are everything and everything is triangles.
