Many people are interested in mathematics, but do not have any partcular skill in its techniques. 'Mathematics To Do - a recreational mathematics book' was written for a group of such people whose only skill was the ability to use a calculator. The topics covered can enrich the knowledge of anyone from the age of about 15 years to 85, mathematician or not, so long as they have an enquiring mind. As the title of the book suggests, you will learn by doing, not just by reading. See www.mathematics2do.com for a summary of the book's contents, and an idea of its style.

Chris O'Donoghue, author of 'Mathematics To Do', was a school teacher, specialising in mathematics. When he retired, free from the constrains of syllabuses, he explored many interesting topics which he presented to a group of students over the course of a year. He does not regard himself as a particularly gifted mathematician, and so understands how the subject needs to be kept simple.
