The book is built as a series of independent mini-detectives: "Astronomical numbers", "Literary Automaton", "Leo Tolstoy's Problem", "The Secret of the chess automaton". Each chapter is a click in your head, after which you fall in love with mathematics all over again. Even if you have forgotten the school curriculum, Perelman will gently "resurrect" your knowledge and show its hidden beauty. Algebra is everywhere: in biology (geometric progression of locusts), in music (logarithmic scale), in criminology (record recovery) and even in hairdressing. And yes, homeopathy has been exposed here long before it became mainstream. Forget about boring textbook examples. Leo Tolstoy's puzzles, rabbit breeding math, logarithms in music, and unexpected barbershop challenges await you. This is not a lesson, but an intellectual quest, after which you will begin to see the harmonious magic of equations in every coffee maker and star in the sky.
