From the author of Million Dollar Maths comes a fascinating and engaging look at the mathematics that lies behind our modern world.

How does Google know what you want to type?

How did humans first reach the moon?

Could we ever have a supercomputer the size of a pinhead?

In this thrilling numerical journey, Hugh Barker explores how mathematics has helped to build the technology of today, and the fascinating ways it is shaping the future. From green energy to 3-D printing and from quantum cryptography to machine learning, Quantum Leaps reveals the hidden mathematics in modern technology.

Beautifully written and full of ingenious examples, this book will make you realise how the modern world would be impossible without our formidable mathematical armoury.
