The Joy Of Math With Steven Strogatz

Cover of Steven Strogatz's book, "The Joy of X."

How does Google search the Internet? How many people should you date before getting married? And how should you arrange your mattress to get the maximum wear out of it?

Math can answer all of these questions, argues Steven Strogatz. He connects mathematical concepts to topics in literature, philosophy, law, art and pop culture. He spoke at Seattle’s Town Hall on October 10, 2012.
