Velká malá čísla - Čísla, která tvoří náš svět – Honigstein Raphael (2024)

Numbers are indelibly and daily a part of us. How else would we ask for three scoops of ice cream? Or would we know that we can play for another 60 minutes? And why does a minute actually have 60 seconds, and not 100? Where did zero come from and what language do computers understand? Get ready for an interesting and exciting journey through the world of numbers. Ready? Then 3, 2, 1, START!
