Description:
Open a new portal into Shakespeare’s words-and his Renaissance life-with math and numbers as your key.
Shakespeare’s era was abuzz with mathematical progress, from the new concept of “zero” to Galileo’s redraft of the heavens. Now, Rob Eastaway uncovers the many surprising ways math shaped Shakespeare’s plays-and his world-touring astronomy, code-breaking, color theory, navigation, music, sports, and more.
