The Book of Numbers: The Secret of Numbers and how They Changed the World Book by Peter J. Bentley
The Book of Numbers: The Secret of Numbers and how They Changed the World Book by Peter J. Bentley
Numbers are at the heart of the existence of the universe and everything that is in it, and yet most of us have very little everyday understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, let alone their part in philosophy, art, music, architecture, quantum mechanics, physics, computer technology, literature, biology, commerce, religion, and the occult; indeed every discipline which has been and is the proper study of man. This beautifully illustrated book, using computer imagery, historical drawing, paintings and photography gives a synopsis of many of the most important mathematical discoveries in each of these categories and captures something of the spirit of the men and women who have contributed to unravelling the secretes of numbers. From the discovery of zero to infinity, "The Book of Numbers" is calculated to amaze and astound the reader and even encourage further in depth study in the subject.
