The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets

The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets is a 2013 book by Simon Singh, which is based on the premise that "many of the writers of The Simpsons are deeply in love with numbers, and their ultimate desire is to drip-feed morsels of mathematics into the subconscious minds of viewers".

[2] Topics covered include Fermat's Last Theorem, which Singh has written a popular book about, and Euler's identity.

A chapter is dedicated to the "Homer3" segment from Treehouse of Horror VI, in which Homer finds himself in the third dimension (rendered with then-cutting edge computer graphics).

It’s kind of amazing as Homer makes this prediction 14 years before it was discovered.”[3] The Guardian described it as a "readable and unthreatening introduction to various mathematical concepts".

[2] The book was well-received by The Simpsons staff; Simpsons writer and Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen said "Simon Singh's excellent book blows the lid off a decades-long conspiracy to educate cartoon viewers."
