Summary:
"In An
Equation
for
Every
Occasion
, John M. Henshaw tells fifty-two entertaining true stories, each inspired by a different mathematical
equation
. His succinct, easy-to-read narratives come from the spheres of sports, business, history, the arts, science, and technology. Anecdotes about famous equations, like E=mc2, appear alongside tales of not-so-famous—but equally fascinating—equations, such as the one that’s used to determine the SPF number on a bottle of sunscreen."--From publisher.
