We just managed to get another 15 copies of Hannah's christmas mathematics book (as featured in my recent Monopoly video) which she has signed for me. I've just put them back in stock on Maths Gear.

A few people asked if Patreon supporters could find out first when there were more books available! So this is your 24 head-start before I tweet about it.

The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus by Hannah Fry and Thomas Oléron Evans is a fun light-hearted look at the mathematics of all things christmas. I mean, it's a serious academic wor...

Sorry! This is the downside to Maths Gear running out of the UK. But we charge you exactly what the shipping costs us in postage: we don't make any money or even cover time and packaging. It's all shipping, no handling. And all Physical Christmas Cards have been in the post for a few days now! Should be arriving soon.

Don't worry Matt, I know, I wasnt 100% serious. (and shipping a book with a christmas card would have been ridiculous anyway :P)

Matt Parker

At best: I could have included a photocopy of the front cover. :]

How could a kindle version be signed?

Ferran Jovell

I couldn't click fast enough, I hope I get one! :p

Olle Kelderman

oh wait, i derped, im on the wrong tier, i wont receive one anyway hahahahaha wops. I think I've had a little too less sleep last couple days, my brain isnt working xd

Pascal B.

Thank you for the head-start! I ordered one signed copy! :-)

Oberdiah

As an aside, Matt, I don't think you ever did a "Four has Four Letters" responses video, or did I miss it? I wrote a program to generalize across all languages using the google translate API, to find the largest ones. :P

Susan Moury

Got one! Thanks for the heads up! I have a friend who is a first year math and science teacher who will love this.

Rémy GRANDIN

Aaaaand, done ! I've grabbed myself one. Thanks for the heads'up ! Also, Thanks for the christmass card, it was a real thrill to get it in my mailbox today ! You're definitly my prefered Autraliano -british stand up matematician youtuber ! (yes, that's a very specific set ...^^)

Matt Parker

Sadly the kindle version is not signed.

Matt Parker

I still need to do that! It's on my list. Have you sent me your results?

Matt Parker

Amazing! What age students are they teaching?

Matt Parker

Thanks! I've made a career of excelling in very niche sets.

Oberdiah

They were in the youtube comments. I'll try to compile them again and send them by email

Susan Moury

She teaches 6-8 grade in the US. So about 10 to 12 year olds.

Jochen Römling

Already sold out again. Oh well... But I absolutely LOVED the Monopoly video. How academics can carry a "simple" board game so much further than one would assume! Fantastic!

Nick Cohn

Indeed. Too late... :-(

Keronin

Matt, do you see the Kindle version as available when you look at the U.S. site? Because when I follow that link, all it has for format selection is "Hardcover." It says Kindle Edition at the top and that it's not currently available for purchase on the right hand side.

Bill Ward

24 head-start .... specify units!

Matt Parker

Ha! I'm sure I typed "hours". But given how fast they sold: "minutes" would probably have worked as well.

Deanna Judd

oh well - have to be quicker next time! loved your monopoly video with Hannah too! I'm in my first year at Uni studying Maths and your videos are the best. thank you!

Alexander Schrøder

Goodness, just 15 copies for a potential 600+ patrons? I guess this is what I get for not checking my e-mail until the evening...

Matt Parker

I'll announce more if/when we have them!
