Cat mathematics? Indeed! In his book, Daniel M. Look transforms boring numbers into exciting adventures, where each lesson is led by... a cat!
Learn the Murphagorean theorem and find out how to calculate the catotenuse. Discover why not all cats are...
'dumb'! Divide 5 cans of food among 6 pets using Egyptian fractions. Follow the cats of Murrobonacci, whose offspring and ability to curl into a spiral reveal hidden laws of nature.
Intrigued? How about the golden ratio, determining the cutest cat in the world? Or Euler's method, allowing fluffy troublemakers to precisely calculate their parkour jumps? Even the theory of chaos becomes understandable when a cat eats a butterfly.
You'll encounter an infinity of fish for a cat's dinner, topology puzzles (loafing cats and Möbius strips!), as well as the birthday paradox: 23 kittens have a 50% chance of sharing the same birthday! Learn about the fluffiness index and why small cats are 'more profitable'!
This book is not just about mathematics, but about how mathematics is omnipresent, even when cats rule the world. The book does not contain esoteric terms; it's written simply, in the format of lively dialogues between the author and his four co-author cats, along with an infinite multitude of their fluffy companions in mathematical games.
Join Meow-Meow, Vermicelli, Conan the Cat, and Miss Waffle on this exciting journey!

The book reveals complex mathematical ideas (from the Pythagorean theorem to chaos theory and topology) in a simple, friendly, and humorous language, avoiding intimidating formulas and jargon.
It explains engaging and diverse concepts such as the Pythagorean Theorem, Fibonacci numbers, and Chaos Theory through the world of cats.
You will learn how cats demonstrate topology when they “loaf around” and how the square-cube law is related to the “fluffiness index.”
Chapters in the book are intentionally made short, allowing for easy absorption of the material.
The material is written by PhD Daniel M. Look with the involvement of his fluffy co-authors, guaranteeing both academic accuracy and humor.
