There are many paradoxes in mathematics, but one in particular concerns its very nature: it is one of the subjects pupils hate most at school, yet it lends itself to countless games and is full of interesting facts. In short, apparently boring and irrelevant, mathematics is not only everywhere in our lives, but it can also be fun on condition that it is approached the right way. And Maurizio Codogno has without a doubt found the right way: in Mathematics in the coffee break he talks to us about traffic hold-ups (if yours is always the slowest, there must be a reason …), about lifts and Google, about playing cards and dice, about excessively compressed files and bets (lost and won). In short, everything that you would talk about over a coffee with a friend.
