How I hated math
By Olivier Peyon
Release date November 27, 2013
Synopsis
Maths has always bored you, you've always thought that being bad at maths was inevitable, in short, you've always hated it! We could have just laughed it off if it weren't for the fact that math has become so important in our society: Apple, Google, and Goldman Sachs are nothing but algorithms and mathematical formulas. How did math come to be so disliked at a time when it rules the world?
Through a journey to the four corners of the world with the greatest mathematicians, including Cédric Villani (2010 Fields Medal winner). How I Hated Math tells us how mathematics has changed our world, for better... and sometimes for worse.
