In 1922 Barnes Wallis, who later invented the bouncing bomb immortalized in the movie "The Dam Busters", fell in love for the first and last time - aged 35. The object of his affection, Molly Bloxam, was 17 and setting off to study science at University College London. Her father decreed that the two could correspond only if Barnes taught Molly mathematics in his letters. "Mathematics with Love" presents, for the first time, the result of this curious diktat: a series or witty, tender and totally accessible introductions to calculus, trigonometry and electrostatic induction that, remarkably, wooed and won the girl. Deftly narrated by Barnes and Molly's daughter Mary, "Mathematics with Love" is an evocative tale of a twenties courtship, a surprising insight into the early life of a World War Two hero - and a great way to learn a little mathematics.
