Think Like a Mathematician
Simple Tools for Complex Everyday Problems
'Maths needs more demystifiers, and Junaid Mubeen is here to lift back the veil' Eugenia Cheng, author of The Art of Logic and Unequal
How to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the maths of modern life
To many of us, so-called 'pure mathematics is downright baffling. The first question in classrooms is often: when will I use this? Yet, when you start to think like a mathematician, modern life can suddenly make a lot more sense.
In Think Like a Mathematician, Junaid Mubeen shows how using abstract mathematical concepts as thinking tools can enrich our everyday lives - from prime numbers to fractals and the aspects of calculus.
Whether you're a mathematician or a self-proclaimed mathophobe, you'll find all of these ideas easy to grasp and rewarding to understand - some may even reshape the way you see the world.
'Think Like A Mathematician elegantly reveals how to tackle familiar problems in a smarter way - from logic and learning to predictions and politics. An essential toolkit for understanding the world around us' -- Adam Kucharski, author of The Rules of Contagion
'An accessible and innovative trip through some of the deepest and most influential concepts in the mathematician's mental toolkit' -- Ian Stewart, author of What's the Use?
'Think Like a Mathematician democratises the abstract beauty of mathematics, breaking it free from its display cabinet.' -- Ayliean MacDonald, maths video creator

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
