Samenvatting:

Have you ever wondered why, despite their adorable exterior, rabbits haven't taken over the world? Are you struggling to land a date? Or bend a free kick like Beckham?

These questions - though frustrating and sometimes absurd - are more than just matters of bad luck. They're puzzles that mathematics can help solve.

In Why Don't Rabbits Rule the World?, mathematicians Ben Sparks and Dr. Katie Steckles reveal how numbers make sense of life's most head-scratching questions. From spotting lies to winning (or wisely losing) bets, from splitting the bill without arguments to predicting the quirks of nature itself, this book shows how maths can tackle problems you didn't even know you had.

With wit, clarity, and plenty of puzzles and paradoxes to keep you thinking, discover the hidden role numbers play in our everyday lives.
