The Pizza Paradox
Jamie Grant & Rachel Mackenzie

Mathematics doesn’t have to be intimidating - especially when it’s served by the slice. The Pizza Paradox invites readers of all backgrounds to explore the surprising, curious, and often delightful ways mathematics shapes everyday life, using one universally loved subject: pizza.

From the “fair slice” dilemma to the geometry behind perfect crusts, the book breaks down classic mathematical challenges through playful analogies, real-world examples, and bite-sized explanations. Readers will uncover how a simple dinner-table debate can reveal deep truths about logic, symmetry, probability, and optimisation, all without the need for advanced equations.

Whether puzzling through how to share uneven toppings, examining why circular pizzas come in square boxes, or unraveling the paradoxes hidden in infinite slices, each chapter turns a familiar scenario into an accessible, aha-filled journey.

Perfect for students, casual learners, and anyone who has ever faced a pizza-related conundrum, The Pizza Paradox proves that mathematics is not only manageable: it’s deliciously fun.
