Matt Parker appears regularly to talk about maths on the radio and TV (Discovery's You Have Been Warned, James May's Things You Need to Know, Channel 4's Mating Season) as well as being all over the internet. His first book "Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension", published by Penguin, is out now. Matt's favourite number is currently 3435.
