This is the third collection under the rubric ''That's Maths''.
The first volume, ''That's Maths: The Mathematical Magic
in Everyday Life'', was published by Gill Books in 2016. The second,
''That's Maths II: A Ton of Wonders'', was published for Logic
Press in 2020. Both volumes were very favourably reviewed.
This collection includes essays on a wide range of topics in both
pure and applied mathematics. Chapters such as one on the beautiful
theory of complex variables, illustrate the ''elegant abstraction''
mentioned in the subtitle, while chapters on mathematics in mechanics, astronomy, networks,
freak waves and music demonstrate its ''eclectic applications''.
The book is suitable for everyone with an interest in mathematics,
whether or not they have studied the subject beyond secondary school
level. Some chapters are purely expository; others go deeper into
their subjects and are at a more advanced mathematical level. The
first three quarters of the book (48 chapters) require no advanced knowledge.
The final quarter (16 chapters, each marked by a star)
involve some undergraduate maths. These should give readers a flavour of
some more advanced mathematics.
The chapters in this book are all short, generally about four
pages. They can be read in sequence, with constantly changing
themes, or in random order. The book should be appreciated by
anyone with an interest in mathematics and science. In particular,
teachers of these subjects, at both school and university level,
should find a cornucopia of material to add a sparkle to their
classes.
Many of the essays in this collection have appeared in the regular
column ''That's Maths'' in The Irish Times or on Peter Lynch's mathematical
blog, [...]. All have been fully revised for
this book.

Über den Autor
Peter Lynch is passionate about all things mathematical. He graduated
from University College Dublin (UCD) in 1968 with a first class honours in
mathematical science. The following year he was awarded an [...]. by UCD.
Much of Peter's career was spent with the Irish Meteorological Service,
where he worked developing models for weather prediction. In 1982 he
was awarded a PhD from Trinity College Dublin, for research in dynamical
meteorology. He later became Head of Research and then Deputy Directer
of Met Eireann.
Peter carried out extensive research on the development of computer
weather forecasting. In 2006 he completed a monograph, "The Emergence of
Numerical Weather Prediction: Richardson's Dream", which was published
by Cambridge University Press.
Peter moved to UCD in 2004 as Professor of Meteorology in the School
of Mathematics. He is now an emeritus professor in the School.
Since retiring he has written extensively about mathematics.
His first mathematical collection, "That's Maths: The Mathematical
Magic in Everyday Life", was published by Gill Books in 2016.
He writes a regular mathematical column in The Irish Times and maintains
a mathematical blog, "[...]". His professional website is at

Peter is a keen walker. Over a thirteen-year period, he completed a walk
around the coastal counties of Ireland. This is described in his book
"Rambling Round Ireland: A Commodius Vicus of Recirculation", published
in 2010 by The Liffey Press.
Peter is a Member of the Royal Irish Academy.
Logic Press publishes mathematical books and books related to Mathematics.
