Worth has written an entertaining, liberal arts math textbook on the premise that mathematics about baseball would be much more fun than other more-general math texts, and in many ways he has succeeded. This book will be very interesting for fans of baseball or mathematics and could be instrumental in converting the fans of the former into fans of the latter.
