Synopsis:

The book contains eight chapters. All of those are written on a common theme of the lively existence of mathematics in man’s day to day lives. The author describes his personal experience with mathematics at different walks of his life. If one looks closely enough, one can never miss the all-encompassing reign of mathematics – from home economics to ecology, from geography to probability, and so on. Although the experiences described in the book are autobiographical and therefore, subjective, those remind the reader of an objective reality which she may tend to ignore all the time. Well, not anymore!
