| General note |
<br/><br/>"A spectacular journey... Highly recommended!" Dr Simon Smith, The Shakespeare Institute<br/><br/>"A fascinating and hugely entertaining guide to Shakespearean mathematics." Prof Sarah Hart, author of Once Upon A Prime<br/><br/>"A playful and engaging book ... bound to excite the appetite of all Shakespeare junkies." Patrick Spottiswoode, Founder, Shakespeare's Globe Education<br/><br/>'Instead of cleaving maths and English in twain, Eastaway brings them together to surprise and delight the reader.' Dr Rebecca Fisher, The English Association<br/><br/>A fascinating new take on the world of Shakespeare.<br/><br/>What's the connection between Shakespeare and maths? A lot, as it turns out!<br/><br/>Shakespeare grew up in a time of remarkable mathematical innovation. From astronomy to probability, music to multiplication, new mathematical ideas were taking off - and much of this was reflected in his work. In this highly engaging book, award-winning author Rob Eastaway explores the surprising and entertaining ways that maths and numbers crop up in Shakespeare's plays.<br/><br/>Find out how Tudors multiplied, why Shakespeare never ended a line with the word orange, and why dice-playing was a serious hazard for the unwary. With historical asides about games, optics, astronomy, music and magic, you will never think about maths, history or Shakespeare the same way again.<br/> |
