Can a planet made of dynamite blow itself up? How often should a group of judges score a fight incorrectly? We can answer questions like that with a bit of pretty simple math and physics.

This book is a collection of solutions to problems like that. I go through enough of the math that you should be able to follow along, but this isn't as detailed as a textbook. Most problems are covered in one to two pages. My goal is to give a glimpse of how powerful math can be to people who are interested but don't think about it all the time.

If you enjoy questions like the two I asked above and you were able to understand most of your high school math, you'll probably enjoy this book. The best description I can think of is that it's kind of like Randall Munroe's 'What If?' except that he's a better writer than I am and this has more math in it.
