Alex Bellos

Think of the best storyteller you know and the coolest teacher you ever had, and now you’ve got some idea of what Alex Bellos is like.

- Steven Strogatz, Cornell University

Alex is one of the few people who can talk about numbers without being intimidating.

- Evan Davis, BBC

Hi, I'm Alex Bellos. I write and I talk. Usually, about mathematics. Sometimes, about Brazil. My popular science books - Alex's Adventures in Numberland and Alex Through the Looking-Glass - are both bestsellers and have been translated into more than 20 languages. (In America they have the titles Here's Looking at Euclid and The Grapes of Math). I write a maths blog and a puzzle blog for the Guardian and frequently speak on maths at conferences, festivals, in schools and in companies.

My maths colouring book Snowflake, Seashell, Star, a collaboration with Edmund Harriss, is out in the UK in September. Another new project is LOOP, pool on an elliptical table.

I am also the author of Futebol: the Brazilian Way of Life, a look at contemporary Brazil through football, and I co-wrote Pelé's autobiography.

This website has more information about my books, my talks, my radio documentaries, my YouTube clips and me. A list of my upcoming talks is here.
