Math with Bad Drawings: Illuminating the Ideas That Shape Our Reality

“Math with Bad drawings” is a book all about math, but with silly drawings instead of “Bad” drawings. If I was the author, then I would call the book “Math with lots of drawings” instead. I particularly like one of the chapters about how statistics can be very misleading. You know how numbers always tell the truth? Well, they do, but sometimes they are still misleading. For example, if somebody said that “Your have earned 10$ more when you competitor has only earned 4$ more!” you would think that would definitely be a good thing, right? Well, maybe you only started at 3$ while your competitor started at 20$, so after the change you would have 13$ while your competitor still had more money then you (11$ more to be exact). The author, Ben Orlin, also wrote “Math games with bad drawings” and “Change is the only constant”, both of which are very fascinating. I would recommend you to start reading this at the age of 8.
