Alex Bellos: The Nomadic Mathematician

<p>Today we’re joined by Sunday Times Best Selling author and Guardian columnist Alex Bellos (who we met through the wonderful Tulip Siddiq MP!)</p> <p>Applying a mathematical way of looking at the world. Structures and quality questions exist in all forms. Alex applied this logic to the creative endeavour of writing for the Guardian as a journalist and eventually into authoring his books (see below for links). His pivots take us from journalism in the 90's, to Brazil, to bringing maths to the masses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Through storytelling, he demystifies maths and dare we say, even makes it interesting.. And if we’re saying that, it’s quite an achievement.</p> <p><strong>Find Alex here:</strong></p> <p>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/alexbellos">@alexbellos</a></p> <p>Website - <a href="http://www.alexbellos.com/">http://www.alexbellos.com/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>His Guardian puzzle column - <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/series/alex-bellos-monday-puzzle">https://www.theguardian.com/profile/alexbellos</a></p> <p>His Books:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Language-Lovers-Puzzle-Book-Alex-Bellos/9781783352180?ref=grid-view&amp;qid=1606299699463&amp;sr=1-1">The Language Lover's Puzzle Book</a> : Lexical perplexities and cracking conundrums from across the globe - 2020</li> <li><a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Alexs-Adventures-Numberland-Alex-Bellos/9781526623997?ref=grid-view&amp;qid=1606299725730&amp;sr=1-5">Alex's Adventures in Numberland</a> - 2010</li> <li><a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Alex-Through-Looking-Glass-Alex-Bellos/9781408845721?ref=grid-view&amp;qid=1606299753625&amp;sr=1-6">Alex Through the Looking-Glass</a> : How Life Reflects Numbers, and Numbers Reflect Life - 2014</li> </ul> <p><strong>You can get hold of us here:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/pivotpointspodcast/?hl=en"><strong> @pivotpointspodcast</strong></a></li> <li>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/pivot-points-podcast/?viewAsMember=tr
