Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension

by Matt Parker

Description

Blending stand-up-style humor with hands-on mathematical exploration, this book invites you to rethink the “boring” math you may have feared in school. Through a guided sequence of games, puzzles, and optional activities, you’ll build from familiar foundations like numbers, geometry, and algebra toward deeper ideas such as topology and four-dimensional shapes—learning to see how logic can extend beyond what comes naturally to the brain. Along the way, the author shows that math’s counterintuitive leaps are not obstacles but gateways to astonishing ways of reasoning about space, structure, and infinity. With Parker’s witty, accessible style, abstract concepts become playful tools you can actually use, making advanced thinking feel surprisingly within reach.
