This fun and fascinating book takes readers on a journey through the mathematics behind coincidences both famous and never-before-examined. From peculiar patterns in geometry and calculus to the famous Waring Problem, and other astonishing numerical curiosities, \u003ci\u003eThe Call of Coincidence\u003c\/i\u003e begins by examining the mathematical properties that underpin everything there is. Next, author Owen O'Shea - along with fictional guides Charlie Chance and the enigmatic Dr. Moogle - reveals surprising connections and correlations throughout history, including numerical coincidences behind the reign of King Richard III, the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the 1996 FIFA World Cup, and much, much more. By investigating the properties, puzzles, and problems within, you will gain a newfound appreciation for the beautiful simplicity of mathematics in its many forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing surprising trivia gems alongside serious questions like why there is \u003ci\u003esomething\u003c\/i\u003e rather than \u003ci\u003enothing\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will be enriched by this exploration of remarkable number coincidences and the mathematics that make them possible - and probable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOwen O'Shea\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Proposition Bets, Mathematical Brainteasers with Surprising Solutions, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Call of the Primes\u003c\/i\u003e as well as articles in the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Recreational Mathematics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEdgeScience\u003c\/i\u003e.
