Mathematics is far more than dry formulas—it’s all around us if you know where to look. In Excursion in Mathematics, award-winning mathematician Steven Strogatz guides you on a tour from kindergarten puzzles to university-level ideas through playful real-world scenarios: the famous “infinite hotel” paradox; schoolchildren counting fish and shells; pebble-picking puzzles that reveal combinatorics; and even the flow of passengers on a subway car. Each chapter brings fundamental concepts—infinity, sequences, probability, networks, and chaos—to life with clear explanations, vivid anecdotes, and hands-on thought experiments, making this popular science STEM book both an educational guide and an engaging math adventure
