«Los Simpson y las matemáticas» is Simon Singh's mathematics popularization book, published by Editorial Ariel in hardcover (304 pages, in Spanish).
Simon Singh analyzes how The Simpsons introduce mathematics: from a joke about differential equations in the pilot episode to the discussion between Homer Simpson and Ned Flanders about whether infinity plus one is greater than infinity, showing that the series tried to bring algebra, calculus, and geometry closer with humor and paradoxes.
Published on November 26, 2013 in the Claves collection, with Spanish translation by Ana Herrera Ferrer.
Aimed at mathematics lovers, The Simpsons fans, and readers seeking a humorous approach to science.
