#MathsBookClubWA

Come join us for our Maths Book Club meeting in Western Australia at Dôme Café! Get ready to discuss all things maths-related while sipping on your favorite coffee. This term we are reading Mapmatics by Paulina Rowinska | Boffins Books . Mathematician Dr Paulina Rowinska explores the mathematical foundations of maps and cartography's impact on mathematics. From sixteenth-century maps which we still use on our phones to public transport maps that both guide and mislead, she uncovers how maps and maths shape our sense of space and time, and our worldview.
