Maths secrets of the Simpsons

I've always been a fan of the Simpsons but never realised that behind the more obvious humour, there lies a secret core of advanced Maths.  Science writer, Simon Singh's latest book, 'The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets' reveals these hidden jokes, some only obvious when you press pause. Singh has trawled through 100s of episodes and obscure Internet forums to find examples. Read Simon Singh's comments in The Observer or borrow the book from the library to discover all the nerdy jokes!
