About the Book
Geekspeak is Dr. Graham Tattersall’s quirky love letter to math, logic, and problem solving… and to the self-professed geeks everywhere who revel in such esoterica. Written for the numero-phobic and the calcu-lover alike, Geekspeak doesn’t shy away from complex problems, but always explains them in a way that’s elegantly curious, easily understood, and, above all, endlessly entertaining.Critical Praise
“Tattersall’s welcoming attitude, solid principles and intriguing examples should stick with the logically or mathematically inclined.” — Publishers Weekly
