Description
Did you know:
- Only around 100 people have ever lived beyond a million hours (that's about 114 years).
- Around 7% of everyone who has ever lived is currently alive.
- The '12 days of Christmas' song, when sung in full, results in 364 gifts being given - one for every day... except Christmas.
Broken down into 12 chapters that correspond roughly to months of the year - from going 'back to school' with arithmetic and times tables through prime numbers and all the way to the 12 Days of Chris-maths, A Year in Numbers features a collection of 365 fascinating numerical 'nuggets', accompanied by clear, bite-size explanations of the mathematics that underpin them.
