Book Overview

by Rob Eastaway (Author)

Shakespeare's era was abuzz with mathematical progress, from the new concept of "zero" to Galileo's redraft of the heavens. Now, Rob Eastaway uncovers the many surprising ways math shaped Shakespeare's plays--and his world--through astronomy, code-breaking, time-keeping, navigation, music, games, and more.

  • How does division feature in Juliet's parting scene?
  • Why was it hazardous to play with dice?
  • How did audiences get to the Globe on time?
  • Which of Galileo's discoveries has a cameo in Cymbeline?
  • Were cryptic messages hidden in the First Folio?
