Is the most important language in the universe also capable of making us happy in simple and profound ways? Can we really weave the foundations of lifelong joy-humility, gratitude, connection, etc.-through the apparent complexity of numbers? Have we oversold the practicality of mathematics, while ignoring its larger and more human purposes-happiness?
In Pi of Life: The Hidden Happiness of Mathematics, Sunil Singh takes the readers on a unique adventure, discovering that all the elements that are essential for lifelong happiness are deeply intertwined with the magic of mathematics. Blending classic wisdom with over 100 pop culture references-music, television and film-Singh whimsically switches the lens in this book from the traditional society teaching math to a new and bold math teaching society. Written with charming buoyancy and intimacy, he takes us on an emotional and surprising journey through the deepest goldmine of mathematics-our personal happiness.
