Pi Sutra

The mathematical equivalent of “Kama Sutra” that even those who are apathetic about or allergic to the number π want to order a copy or two, after it became the post-pandemic bestselling pop math title on Amazon.

Although “Pi Sutra” is filled with juicy pi factoids, reveals some creative ways of making the irrational number exciting even to math-anxious folks, and discuses some easy-to-understand cool theorems on mathematicians’ constant of choice, however, some ultra-MAGA parents have asked their governors to ban the recreational math book in school libraries, because it’s the potential to pervert the minds of teenagers.
