by Alex Bellos
Description
A lively journey through the surprising, beautiful, and often counterintuitive world of mathematics, this book explores the ideas that shape how we understand numbers, patterns, space, and infinity. From ancient geometry and mathematical history to modern puzzles and everyday curiosities, it reveals the human stories, cultural traditions, and ingenious discoveries behind familiar concepts. Accessible, witty, and rich with illuminating examples, it shows that mathematics is not merely a school subject but a universal language of creativity, logic, and wonder.
