Math in Minutes

Prime numbers, polynomial equations and everything in between: this is mathematics distilled into its 200 most essential ideas, each one explained quickly and clearly. Simple, purposeful illustrations sit alongside every entry, turning concepts that can feel abstract into something easier to picture and remember. Written by Paul Glendinning, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester, it's a book built for dipping into rather than reading start to finish - a quick way to understand an idea, or a broader route through the subject for anyone building their mathematical footing from the ground up.
