«A Matemática das Coisas» is Nuno Crato's popular mathematics essay, published by Gradiva in paperback (248 pages, in Portuguese).
Through everyday stories —coded messages, road confusions, calendar errors, mistakes giving change—, Nuno Crato shows how mathematics acts in daily life. He also revisits classic problems, like stacking oranges, and highlights its beauty and presence in objects such as A4 paper or GPS.
The full subtitle is «Do Papel A4 Aos Atacadores De Sapatos, Do GPS às Rodas Dentadas».
Recommended for young people who want to approach mathematics with curiosity and for teachers seeking inspiring examples for their classes.
