  An engineering professor reveals how math and reasoning apply in the real world with a “fascinating” collection of problems and puzzles (Library Journal). 
   
  A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
   
  Although we seldom think of it, our lives are played out in a world of numbers. Such common activities as throwing baseballs, skipping rope, growing flowers, playing football, measuring savings accounts, and many others are inherently mathematical. So are more speculative problems that are simply fun to ponder in themselves—such as the best way to score Olympic events. 
   
  Here Robert Banks presents a wide range of musings, both practical and entertaining, that have intrigued him and others: How tall can one grow? Why do we get stuck in traffic? Which football player would have a better chance of breaking away—a small, speedy wide receiver or a huge, slow linebacker? Can California water shortages be alleviated by towing icebergs from Antarctica? What is the fastest the 100-meter dash will ever be run? 
   
  The book’s twenty-four concise chapters, each centered on a real-world phenomenon, show how math and simple reasoning together may produce elegant models that explain everything from the federal debt to the proper technique for ski-jumping.
