''A spectacular journey... Highly recommended!'' Dr Simon Smith, The Shakespeare Institute

''A fascinating and hugely entertaining guide to Shakespearean mathematics.'' Prof Sarah Hart, author of Once Upon A Prime

''The Bard by Numbers, brilliantly accounted for by Rob Eastaway.'' Johnny Ball

What''s the connection between Shakespeare and maths? A lot, as it turns out!

- How did audiences get to the theatre on time?
- Why was ''nothing'' so significant to the Tudors?
- What could Falstaff buy with a groat?
- Were cryptic messages hidden in the First Folio?
- And why did Shakespeare never end a line with the word orange?
