From Newton's Law of Gravity to the Black-Scholes model used by bankers to predict the markets, equations, are everywhere — and they are fundamental to everyday life.

Seventeen Equations that Changed the World examines seventeen groundbreaking equations that have altered the course of human history. He explores how Pythagoras's Theorem led to GPS and SatNav; how logarithms are applied in architecture; why imaginary numbers were important in the development of the digital camera, and what is really going on with Schrödinger's cat.

Entertaining, surprising and vastly informative, Seventeen Equations that Changed the World is a highly original exploration — and explanation — of life on earth.

    the full story is always too complicated for anyone except the experts, and they know so much that they don’t believe most of it.
