Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. With this fun romp through the world of equations we encounter in our everyday lives, you'll find yourself flipping through the stories of fifty-two formulas faster than a deck of cards. John M.

His tales come from the spheres of sports, business, history, the arts, science, and technology.
