Krátky popis
'The whizz-kid making maths supercool. . .A brilliant book that
takes everything we know (and fear) about maths out of the equation
- starting with numbers' The Times'A cheerful, chatty, and charming
trip through the world of mathematics. . .Everyone should read this
delightful book' Ian Stewart, author of Do Dice Play God?The only
numbers in this book are the page numbers. The three main branches
of abstract math - topology, analysis, and algebra - turn out to be
surprisingly easy to grasp. Or at least, they are when our guide is
a math prodigy.With forthright wit and warm charm, Milo Beckman
upends the conventional approach to mathematics, inviting us to
think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and the
infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs, and all how all these concepts
fit together. Why is there a million dollar prize for counting
shapes? Is anything bigger than infinity? And how is the 'truth' of
mathematics actually decided?A vivid and wholly original guide to
the math that makes the world tick and the planets revolve, Math
Without Numbers makes human and understandable the elevated and
hypothetical, allowing us to clearly see abstract math for what it
is: bizarre, beautiful, and head-scratchingly wonderful.
