Have you ever wondered what makes "seventh heaven" and "cloud nine" so blissful and the number 13 so unlucky? Or why "fourth-dimensional" thinking is really out of this world?

Inside Easy as Pi, you'll find the "4-1-1" on:

Seventh heaven and what makes it so blissful

The number 13 and why it's so unlucky

Imaginary numbers and how they exist

The binary system and how it manages to say so much with only two numbers

How your bedding has nothing to do with being "three sheets to the wind"

The burning literary question: Why did Ray Bradbury name his novel Fahrenheit 451?

A block of Social Security numbers that will never ever be assigned to anyone

Recensione:

"Explore the book at your leisure, whether your interests are in history, games, or numerology. You can count on it to please any puzzle lover, curious teen, or math fan. The influence of numbers in our lives remains a mystery, but this light-hearted look at numbers with graphs, charts, and games is highly entertaining." -Blogcritics (Blog)
"I found this book very interesting and full of great information...It makes a great coffee table or bathroom reading book. It is best when read little pieces at a time. I have skipped and skimmed and read just about the entire book in a week. A few times I ended up taking it with me to work because I was interested in reading more. Whether or not you like numbers, they are a part of everyday life. You should learn a little more about them the fun way: read Easy as Pi!" -Thrifty and Frugal Living(Blog)
