Whether he is illuminating how often you should flip your mattress to get the maximum lifespan from it, explaining just how Google searches the internet, or determining how many people you should date before settling down, Strogatz shows how math connects to every aspect of life. Discussing pop culture, medicine, law, philosophy, art, and business, Strogatz is the math teacher you wish you’d had. Whether you aced integral calculus or aren’t sure what an integer is, you’ll find profound wisdom and persistent delight in The Joy of x.

At first it seemed that the title "Joy of X" was spot on. It's an admirable goal to inspire readers about mathematics and I found the first few chapters very well written and interesting, with some insight about the (primary- or middle-school level) mathematical topics.The writing is decent throughout the book but the quality of the content quickly plunges and each chapter becomes a shallow, broad description of a particular subject without much detail or examples. Each chapter is about the same in length (apparently these chapters appeared in the NYT as essays?) - unfrotunately, later chapters are more fit for some Sunday tabloid's filler than a book about mathematics. While the original NYT publications may have had length limits because of the newspaper format, there's no excuse for re-publishing the same content in a book where such limits don't exist.It's fairly obvious that the author understands and loves mathematics and the first few chapters give the impression that his goal was to genuinely inspire people but the result falls flat in this regard. There's barely any detail about the more complex topics; some anectodes are thrown in for "warmth" but most of it feels like an afterthought. Several chapters refer the reader to Youtube videos and blog entries (some don't even exist anymore) instead of actually diescribing the subject. I think most readers would be better off reading about these subjects on WIkipedia.Some of the 5-star ratings are suspect, bordering on dishonesty - no one with deeper undestanding of the subject would recommend this book as "magical", "grand" and the like. As much as I wanted to love this book (especially after the first few chapters) I cannot recommend it.
