"A book for the eternally curious, Coincidences, Chaos, and All That Math Jazz fuses a professor's understanding of the hidden mathematical skeleton of the universe with the distorted sensibility of a stand-up comedian." "Overflowing with almost two hundred hand-drawn illustrations and diagrams, Coincidences, Chaos, and All That Math Jazz makes the big questions - and those you haven't even thought to ask - accessible and compelling. What happens when an infinite number of tired baseball players shows up at an infinite motel? And when their manager shows up? The fourth dimension is probed from angles never imagined in science fiction."--BOOK JACKET.
