Many people take math in high school and promptly forget much of it. But math plays a part in all of our lives all of the time, whether we know it or not. In The Joy of x, Steven Strogatz expands on his hit New York Times series to explain the big ideas of math gently and clearly, with wit, and insight.

Whether he is illuminating how often you should flip your mattress to get the maximum lifespan from it, explaining just how Google searches the internet, or determining how many people you should date before settling down, Strogatz shows how math connects to every aspect of life. Discussing pop culture, medicine, law, philosophy, art, and business, Strogatz is the math teacher you wish you'd had. Whether you aced integral calculus or aren't sure what an integer is, you'll find profound wisdom and persistent delight in The Joy of x.

Enjoyed the book. It was recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. A great read if you liked or curious about math but don't understand the practical use of math. It does a great good pointing out the purpose of math in the real world that's not taught in school.

Good listen

Targeted at people who lack an intuitive grasp of math. Those who understand math will find a lot of the material too basic, but will still learn a few good tidbits

Interesting but fairly basic

Amazing book that makes much of mathematics accessible and fun. One of the rare books that should get better with every read/listen.

Incredible read

There are a lot of diagrams that aren’t always easy to imagine. A companion of illustrations would fix that.

Very interesting but diagrams are hard to follow sometimes

Stepfather does a good job of connecting with my mind most of the time. I get new and fresh perspectives on many things. A pdf or image would have helped me during the set theory and infinity discussion.

An imaginative and refreshing review of many interesting math ideas

I love this book! And I finally learned why I was taught calculus. All s

Math needs unite!

Another great book by Strogatz. He does a great job making math personable and fun. The only down size is the fact that having someone read you equations is not very easy to follow. Get the paper version instead. Also, read this one first before going to Infinite Powers, as that one deals with higher level math. This book is good for elementary level math.

Great! Buy get the paper version if you can.

Loved it. I can't wait to listen to it again. It opened my eyes to the purpose of math principles that I once learned and even enjoyed but only as abstract challenges that did not "stiick" from decades ago. Thanks so much to the author!

Very informative and thought-provoking!
