Sunday Times 'A valuable  entertaining book that  above all  celebrates a supremely funny 
sophisticated show' Financial Times You may have watched hundreds of episodes of The Simpsons
(and its sister show Futurama) without ever realising that they contain enough maths to form an
entire university course. In The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets  Simon Singh explains
how the brilliant writers  some of the mathematicians  have smuggled in mathematical jokes
throughout the cartoon's twenty-five year history  exploring everything from to Mersenne primes
from Euler's equation to the unsolved riddle of P vs. NP  from perfect numbers to narcissistic
numbers  and much more. With wit  clarity and a true fan's zeal  Singh analyses such memorable
episodes as 'Bart the Genius' and 'Homer³' to offer an entirely new insight into the most
successful show in television history.
