Because maths is all about patterns, and our universe is extraordinarily patterned.With enthusiasm, humour and heart, Eddie Woo shows how card tricks, conspiracy theories, teacups, killer butterflies, music, lightning and so much more illuminate the spellbinding world of maths that surrounds us.I never thought Id read a maths book cover to cover, let alone sing its praises. Eddie Woo makes maths fun, accessible and relevant. Now we can all benefit from his extraordinary skill as a teacher.JENNY BROCKIE, journalist and TV hostNot just a great teacher, Woos Wonderful World of Maths shows Eddie to be a storyteller too. Is there anything the Woo cannot doADAM SPENCER, Ambassador for Mathematics, University of Sydney
