Have you ever wondered why, despite their adorable exterior, rabbits haven’t taken over the world? Are you struggling to land a date? Or bend a free kick like Beckham?
These questions – though frustrating and sometimes absurd – are more than just matters of bad luck. They’re puzzles that mathematics can help solve.
In Why Don’t Rabbits Rule the World?, mathematicians Ben Sparks and Dr. Katie Steckles reveal how numbers make sense of life’s most head-scratching questions.

With wit, clarity, and plenty of puzzles and paradoxes to keep you thinking, discover the hidden role numbers play in our everyday lives.
