What are numbers ? When was zero invented? And how does a man end up calculating pi on the moon? Joe and Tom speak to stand-up mathematician, Matt Parker, who explores the weird and wonderful world of maths. He explains how he was voluntarily bitten by a bullet out in the name of numbers and helps us understand why kids think maths is boring. This episode will show you, that it really isn't.
Plus he's taking us to the moon! Sort of.
Love Triangle: The Life-changing Magic of Trigonometry by Matt Parker is now available in paperback.
