Math Mutation Classics

Did you know that sometimes 2+2 equals 5? That wheels don't always have to be round? That you can mathematically prove there is a hippopotamus in your basement? Or how to spot four-dimensional beings as they pass through your kitchen? If not, then you need to read this book! Math Mutation Classics is a collection of Erik Seligman's blog articles from Math Mutation at MathMutation.com. Erik has been creating podcasts and converting them in his blog for many years. Now, he has collected what he believes to be the most interesting among them, and has edited and organized them into a book that is often thought provoking, challenging, and fun.  

Erik Seligman is a Formal Verification Architect at Intel Corporation, where he has been an engineer for over two decades. Erik has hosted the Math Mutation podcast since 2007. He was recently lead author of the well-received technical book, Formal Verification: An Essential Toolkit for Modern VLSI Design (Morgan Kaufmann, 2015). He earned a M.S. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon and a B.A. in mathematics at Princeton. He also has served since 2013 as an elected director on the board of the Hillsboro School District, the 4th largest K-12 school district in Oregon.
