How big is your vocabularyHow heavy is your house?Do the dead outnumber the livingWhat are the best words to use in a personal adWe humans are a curious species, prone to think, ruminate, reflect, cogitate, mull over, and philosophize. We long to explain away the world around us, to answer all those seeming unanswerables: Why are we hereIs there a GodIs there life after deathAnd, above all, how many houseflies does it take to pull a carA confirmed and superior geek, Dr. Graham Tattersall has rescued math from the prison of the classroom and put it to use in novel and unexpected ways to explain some oft-pondered mysteries of the world. Geekspeak is an essential tool that will help you exercise your brain and solve the unsolvable, make you sound intelligent so you can impress your friends, and enable you to better understand the fascinating world in which we live in ways never possible before.Math has a new champion, and the geeks a new king.
