My book is now published in French! You can buy it on Amazon.fr. I’m not sure how long it has been out, I only got a copy today. Here’s the cover:

Last month was the 2nd anniversary of my book How to Think Like a Mathematician. My heartfelt thanks to anyone who has bought a copy or emailed me with praise, suggestions, corrections or questions.

The book is selling better than I expected and certainly better than people told me it would. In January of this year it had its highest Amazon.co.uk chart placing at position 403. The current monthly average is position 16,835. Not bad.

As the world moves towards the ebook, I’ve started monitoring the Kindle chart. I was surprised how high it was placed in Amazon’s bestselling mathematics ebooks. For example, it is currently number 15, just below Euclid’s Elements! See the picture above.

After a brief lull in my video making activities (partly due my voice being awful for a long time after a cold) I have produced the first of the induction videos.

Another video has been uploaded. This one is the second of three on common mistakes in mathematics and is about dividing by zero.

I’ve uploaded a new video. This one is the first of three on common mistakes in mathematics and is about problems with the square root function.
