Thinking Better
The Art of the Shortcut
Marcus SautoyPostscript summary
Classical mathematics often relied on ‘shortcuts’ or tricks to simplify a complex subject. Oxford academic Marcus Sautoy examines how shortcuts can similarly help in real-life situations, such as packing a car boot, or learning a piece of music, while also relating historical anecdotes, including the story of how the young Carl Gauss outwitted his teacher.
