We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a "biggest number". Or can there? To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? Then things get serious.

Who hasn't feared the math Minotaur in its labyrinth of abstractions? Now, in Out of the Labyrinth, Robert and Ellen Kaplan - the founders of The Math Circle, the popular learning program begun at Harvard in 1994 - reveal the secrets behind their highly successful approach, leading listeners out of the labyrinth and into the joyous embrace of mathematics.

What Are the Odds? is your intro to understanding the hidden mathematics of everyday life. From coin flips to casinos, lightning strikes to love stories, this book walks the line between probability and poetry—bringing clarity to the chaos and calm to the randomness. Through twelve sharp chapters (plus a bonus finale), JJ cracks open real-life situations with statistical insight, humor, and heart.
