The Manual of Mathematical Magic

Mathematical Magic in action

The Manual of Mathematical Magic has been sent into UK schools as a complete kit, ready for use in the classroom.

Co-author Matt Parker recently visited Langdon Park Community School in East London to teach a Year 10 class some mathematical tricks of the trade.

“Our goal is to help more students engage with Mathematics. Magic tricks get the students excited and then we show them the mathematical principles that make the whole trick hang together. We also reveal how the same Mathematics underpins everything from medical scans to sending text messages.”
