Topics covered include Fermat's Last Theorem, which Singh has written a popular book about, and Euler's identity. Rather than just explaining the mathematical concepts in the context of how they relate to the relevant episodes of The Simpsons, Singh "uses them as a starting point for lively discussions of mathematical topics, anecdotes and history". The book compiles all the mathematical references used throughout the show's run, and analyzes them in detail. 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".
