The human brain isn't wired for maths; beyond the number 3, it just sees 'more'. So why bother learning it at all? You might remember studying geometry, calculus, and algebra at school, but you probably didn't realise - or weren't taught - that these are the roots of art, architecture, government, and almost every other aspect of our civilisation. The mathematics of triangles enabled explorers to travel far across the seas and astronomers to map the heavens. Calculus won the Allies the Second World War and halted the HIV epidemic.

Das blitzende Schwert in der Hand eines Ritters, der Langbogen, der stets treffsicher das Herz eines Feindes durchbohrt, die uralte Axt, die von Generation zu Generation weitervererbt wird: Wenig bestimmt das Bild eines Helden mehr als die Waffe, die er führt.
