The first rule about Math Club is always talk about Math Club.
The Simpsons and sister program Futurama are written by a strange bunch of comedy writers, those with advanced degrees in mathematics, physics and computer science. The jokes they write are funny on the surface, but they embed these shows with many, (many!) math jokes.
I recognized enough of these jokes to want to read the book, and I really enjoyed this book and seeing the depth these jokes ran. I did not enjoy realizing the shallowness of my nerd creds. I used to know a lot of this stuff and could hold my own. No one holds the throne forever.
