What is maths for?
How do you do maths?

Chapter 3: Shapes and measuring
How and why people use the tools of mathematics to describe the shapes of everything, from everyday objects to the entire universe.
Chapter 4: How maths is shown
Making graphs, drawing diagrams and using pictures to explain the world better, and to help solve problems.

Maths can tell you the truth and predict the future - up to a point. How does it do this, and how can you spot when people are (mis)using maths to lie?
Chapter 7: Maths, computers and the future
No mathematics, no computers. But what kind of maths do people use to make computers works?
Chapter 8: Mathematical models
