Overview

Strange happenstances and chance encounters have puzzled us for centuries. This fun and fascinating book takes readers on a journey through the mathematics behind coincidences both famous and never-before-examined. From peculiar patterns in geometry and calculus to the famous Waring Problem, and other astonishing numerical curiosities, The Call of Coincidence begins by examining the mathematical properties that underpin everything there is. Next, author Owen O’Shea – along with fictional guides Charlie Chance and the enigmatic Dr. Moogle – reveals surprising connections and correlations throughout history, including numerical coincidences behind the reign of King Richard III, the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the 1996 FIFA World Cup, and much, much more. By investigating the properties, puzzles, and problems within, you will gain a newfound appreciation for the beautiful simplicity of mathematics in its many forms. Featuring surprising trivia gems alongside serious questions like why there is something rather than nothing, readers will be enriched by this exploration of remarkable number coincidences and the mathematics that make them possible – and probable.
