About

One of the most accomplished essayists active today, Brian Hayes uses computing and mathematics to explore everything from the deadly serious (war and peace) to the utterly frivolous (the mathematics of mattress flipping). Group Theory in the Bedroom, and Other Mathematical Diversions, the first collection of his work, brings together twelve of his most memorable and engaging pieces to date, including his acclaimed "Clock of Ages." Hayes embellishes his award-winning essays with an overarching, scene-setting preface, reconfigured illustrations, and a refreshingly self-critical "Afterthoughts" section appended to each piece.
