Review of 'Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

A brilliant introduction to maths that is simple and fun to read, and participatory enough to fuel an interest in things that can seem foreign. At times it unfortunately falls short, both in the writing, which can become convoluted, and in the concepts, on which I would have enjoyed digging a little deeper within the frame of the book. But overall Parker has written an enjoyable introduction to some complex mathematics that is accessible and interesting.
