A hilarious and bestselling reintroduction to mathematics illustrating the ideas with stories
humor and stick figures. In Math with Bad Drawings Ben Orlin reveals what math is all about.
His tools are unorthodox: jokes cartoons strange-but-true stories and beneath it all the
empathy of a veteran teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin helps us
to think like mathematicians by teaching a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe profiling the ten
people you meet in line for the lottery and documenting the headaches that ensue when the Evil
Empire attempts to build a spherical Death Star. Math with Bad Drawings will change the way you
see the subject—and the world.
