You may have watched hundreds of episodes of The Simpsons (and its sister show Futurama) without ever realising that they contain enough maths to form an entire university course. In The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets, Simon Singh explains how the brilliant writers, some of the mathematicians, have smuggled in mathematical jokes throughout the cartoon's twenty-five year history, exploring everything from to Mersenne primes, from Euler's equation to the unsolved riddle of P vs. NP, from perfect numbers to narcissistic numbers, and much more., With wit, clarity and a true fan's zeal, Singh analyses such memorable episodes as `Bart the Genius' and `Homer(3)' to offer an entirely new insight into the most successful show in television history.

Críticas:
Singh blows the lid off a decades-long conspiracy to secretly educate cartoon viewers (David X Cohen, writer for The Simpsons and Futurama)
An entertaining picture of the insanely high-minded nature of the Simpsons' writers (Sunday Times)
Singh shows a knack for gliding seamlessly between abstract mathematical concepts and every day life, always seeking out the most engaging, human and topical examples. Singh's clean prose, detailed research and enthusiasm for the world of numbers are likely to captivate even those for whom maths normally creates feelings of anxiety rather than mirth (The Times)
A valuable, entertaining book that, above all, celebrates a supremely funny, sophisticated show (Financial Times)
What have Homer and Bart got to do with Euler's equation, the googolplex or the topology of doughnuts? ... Simon Singh has fun weaving great mathematics stories around our favourite TV characters (New Scientist)
Singh shows just how addictive maths can be (BBC Focus)

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Some have seen philosophy embedded in episodes of The Simpsons; others have detected elements of psychology and religion. Simon Singh, bestselling author of Fermats Last Theorem, The Code Book and The Big Bang, instead makes the compelling case that what The Simpsons writers are most passionate about is mathematics.He reveals how the writers have drip-fed morsels of number theory into the series over the last twenty-five years; indeed, there are so many mathematical references in The Simpsons, and in its sister program, Futurama, that they could form the basis of an entire university course.Using specific episodes as jumping off points from Bart the Genius to Treehouse of Horror VI Simon Singh brings to life the most intriguing and meaningful mathematical concepts, ranging from pi and the paradox of infinity to the origins of numbers and the most profound outstanding problems that haunt todays generation of mathematicians. In the process, he introduces us to The Simpsons brilliant writing team the likes of Ken Keeler, Al Jean, Jeff Westbrook, and Stewart Burns who are not only comedy geniuses, but who also hold advanced degrees in mathematics. This eye-opening book will give anyone who reads it an entirely new mathematical insight into the most successful show in television history.
