Description

If you found a forgotten umbrella on the bus, what are the chances you would find its owner by calling a random number? Why do you always feel like you're waiting in the slowest line at the supermarket checkout? What is the connection between mathematics and the music playing on your favorite CD? In an infinite world, how could we all become millionaires? How tangled can a knot be? How much mathematics does a person actually need?

"Mathematical Pentaminutes," a collection of 100 short texts originally published in the newspaper Die Welt, presents a wide range of mathematical topics in a language accessible to everyone and with rich explanatory illustrations, while also highlighting the relationship between mathematics and our everyday lives. From parabolas with rice grains, to games of chance, magic tricks with numbers, and music, to paradoxes, infinity, probabilities, optional rights, and quantum computers, these brief texts aim to show the reader that mathematics is useful, fascinating, and absolutely necessary for understanding our world.
