Synopsis
Have you ever wondered why, when you get to the end of a traffic jam, there's often frustratingly no obvious cause for it? There's a mathematical reason behind that. Or ever wondered just how easy your password (that you use for every online account you've ever signed up for) would be to crack? There's a formula for that too.
The Maths Behind takes a scientific view of the world, and can give you the reasons for all the nagging questions in your life, along with many you never even thought to ask. From the science behind AI (artificial intelligence), to the maths behind how to consistently win at Monopoly (and become very unpopular with your family), this is a fascinating look at the mathematical forces that run beneath our everyday transactions.

About the Author
Colin Beveridge can't understand why maths isn't the most popular subject on the planet, and spends his life trying to make it so. After a PhD from St Andrews, he worked on NASA's Living With A Star program before returning to the UK in 2008. When he's not writing, teaching, or speaking about maths, he's looking after his young sons or running on south Dorset's excellent cycle path network.
