Arithmetic and Old Lace Knot Theory Ian Stewart How to tie your shoelaces properly.
The Power of One Number Theory Robert Matthews Everyday numbers obey a law so unexpected it is hard to believe it's true. Armed with this knowledge, it's easy to catch those who have been faking research results or cooking the books.
Dice and Determinism Probability Ian Stewart The maths of probability from "Does God Play Dice?".
What is Randomness? Probability Ian Stewart The maths of randomness and chaos from "Does God Play Dice?".
