Opis
A spectacular journey... Highly recommended!' - Dr Simon Smith, The Shakespeare Institute
'A fascinating and hugely entertaining guide to Shakespearean mathematics.' - Prof Sarah Hart, author of Once Upon A Prime
'A playful and engaging book ... bound to excite the appetite of all Shakespeare junkies.' - Patrick Spottiswoode, Founder, Shakespeare's Globe Education
'Instead of cleaving maths and English in twain, Eastaway brings them together to surprise and delight the reader.' - Dr Rebecca Fisher, The English Association
'The Bard by Numbers, brilliantly accounted for by Rob Eastaway.' - Johnny Ball
'This quirky little book will multiply the fun for any general reader interested in adding to their understanding of Shakespeare.' - The Washington Post
A fascinating new take on the world of Shakespeare.
What's the connection between Shakespeare and maths? A lot, as it turns out!
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.
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.
