About book The Simpsons And Their Mathematical Secrets (2013)

A rather scattershot book about some interesting bits of mathematics and the simpsons. Many of the simpsons writers have mathematics backgrounds. It is kind of fun to see some of the mathematical jokes incorporated and the math is cool but anyone who has a math background has seen much of it before but it could be entertaining to a simpsons fan who doesn't know about the math references hidden among popular culture references. I love Maths and I really enjoyed other books by Simon Singh, but this book feels incoherent throughout. I kept thinking that this is the kind of book you'd have on a shelf by a toilet - something to glance at for a couple of minutes and then get on with your day. The stories don't flow well together, and it feels like he is racing to get every single mathematical (and some physics) nods that has ever happened in the Simpsons (and Futurama).Not a book to sit and read, but OK to flick through if you are into both Mathematics and the Simpsons. I actually preferred the jokes at the end of chapters rather than the content of the book itself.
