Mathematics has always been humanity's best tool for understanding the world around us. From the farmers of ancient Egypt to the astrophysicists of today, we have used math to analyze and study our universe, and it has been incredibly successful. And yet, so few of us have ever been exposed to the beauty and wisdom that can be found in math. This work is an attempt to give the reader an insight into the beauty, the creativity, and the wisdom that can be found in a field that all of us have studied, but so few of us appreciate.

Industry Reviews

“Hook’s brilliant collection reveals the humanity in our sciences and does something truly novel—he creates awe in theorems and beauty in axioms and shows us that the deepest of questions are touched by the equations that rule our universe.”
—Mara Altman, journalist and author of Gross Anatomy

“Math is art, math is creativity, math is fascinating, and it is poetic! Andrew Hook captures all of these ideas about math, and more, in a clever, witty, and mathematically precise way. A great book of poetry for readers of all mathematical backgrounds.”
—Matt Wallace, University of California, Davis

“What a delight to read this collection—to look at concepts I know in new ways, and at those I don’t with curiosity. The author’s language play provides a whimsical revisit to mathematical elements I thought I’d forgotten. I’m still pondering the meaning of some lines and thinking about concrete examples of others. Each poem offers opportunities to sit with a cup of tea and contemplate the world and humanity!”
—Pauline Holmes, University of California, Davis
