Alex Bellos: The Nomadic Mathematician

Today we’re joined by Sunday Times Best Selling author and Guardian columnist Alex Bellos (who we met through the wonderful Tulip Siddiq MP!)

Applying a mathematical way of looking at the world. Structures and quality questions exist in all forms. Alex applied this logic to the creative endeavour of writing for the Guardian as a journalist and eventually into authoring his books (see below for links). His pivots take us from journalism in the 90's, to Brazil, to bringing maths to the masses.

Through storytelling, he demystifies maths and dare we say, even makes it interesting.. And if we’re saying that, it’s quite an achievement.
