Overview
El lado más atractivo de las matemáticas a través de diez problemas absolutamente fascinantes.
Aunque no nos lo parezca, las matemáticas están en todas partes y al alcance de quien quiera encontrarlas. Recurrimos a ellas sin darnos cuenta cuando nos sacamos una selfie, cada vez que compramos un billete de avión e incluso al cocinar una tortilla.
En ¡Un matemático ahí, por favor! el doctor Adrián Paenza nos invita a descubrir como nunca antes las matemáticas, a veces escondidas en los lugares más insospechados de la vida cotidiana. Estas páginas entremezclan amor y tecnología, explican un juego de cartas entre Messi y Ronaldo e incluso revelan la manera de saber cuándo alguien miente. Paenza es un divulgador matemático extraordinario y nos regala esta entretenida compilación de diez de los más extraordinarios problemas irresueltos de la historia.
