Stand up mathematician Matt Parker loves numbers. He loves them so much that he’s written a book solely to get other people to love them also. Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension takes Parker’s trademark “exponentially funny” humor and analyzes everything from the foundations of math, to the perfect algorithms for dating. He’ll explain why some number-haters got turned off the subject in the first place, and give insight into how even the most skeptical can become ardently enthralled with mathematics. Parker is a stand up comedian, lecturer, and creator of MathsJam.
