This is a truly unique book. It is written with wit and style and is a part of folk mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908784488736,"sku":"NEW0883855070","price":95.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/31M7sqb-7ZL.jpg?v=1782285365","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mathematical-cranks-spectrum-0883855070","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
