Taking a quirky and insightful look at the world of numbers, As Easy As Pi will delight and entertain any number enthusiast. In this day and age it's hard to imagine a world without numbers.

As Easy As Pi is an entertaining and accessible guide, written for those who love numbers – and those who don't – and uncovers a great deal of lore and intriguing information.
Including:- Snippets of fascinating numerical facts - Myths and mysticism in the world of numbers- Numbers in language and used as slang- Pop culture trivia - Useful mathematical rules to remember
