Simon Singh

Bestselling author Simon Singh sheds light on the mathematical secrets of The Simpsons.

The Simpsons is probably the most successful show in television history. It also contains enough sophisticated mathematics to form a university course, ranging from geometry to number theory, from zero to infinity and beyond..

The opening episode contained a joke about calculus and the following twenty-five series have been peppered with subtle and not-so-subtle references to theorems, conjectures and equations.

Simon Singh investigates the mathematics that infiltrates The Simpsons in a way that is both accessible and funny. He takes you behind the scenes and makes sense of the complex mathematical jokes that litter the show.
