«Why Do Buses Come in Threes?» is the popular mathematics essay by Rob Eastaway and Jeremy Wyndham, published by Robson Books in paperback (156 pages, in English).
The book reveals the hidden mathematics behind everyday situations: from how often buses arrive or the best strategy for buying a lottery ticket to why the shower always runs too hot or too cold. With a friendly and entertaining tone, it shows how mathematics appears in dating, cooking, travel, gambling, and even life-or-death situations.
Includes a foreword by Tim Rice. The edition is from 2004 and is in English; the original title was published in 1999.
