If, like us, you spent far too much time amusing yourself in maths class by punching 58008 into a calculator and turning it upside down, this may alarm you: Geometry is chic.
Geometry has never been our strength (the rumours are true, a monkey came up with name of our publishing house). Spotting Gareth's boldly sharp Chronicles of Neverrange sent the get-cool-quick alarm bells off in our mathematically inept minds. It was time for ThreeThousand to read up.
First we learned Thales of Miletus was credited with five theorems of elementary geometry. But then he died of dehydration while watching a gymnastics contest. Bummer. Michel Gondry's feet restored our faith in the Rubix Cube, but then we realised Michel wasn't so cool after all. We felt our research into geometry equipped us with the know-how to find x.
OK, so we still don't get Pythagoras. Whatever, he was crazy anyway. Apparently he could hear his dead friend in the bark of a dog. But we know this much: The math-savvy Gareth Moody celebrates geometric shapes beautifully, not only through angular jewellery pieces but also in tailored jackets, trousers, vests, jersey tees and shoes. If we haven't convinced you that geometry is OK, these will.
