Description
What are numbers? How many types do we distinguish? Why were square and triangular numbers so interesting to Pythagoras? Is there any connection between so-called perfect numbers and prime numbers? Are there even numbers that would be uninteresting? Mathematical wizard Oliver Linton offers a clear and illustrative guide to the world of numbers in his new book – from natural numbers through irrational and complex numbers to transcendental ones. We will encounter questions that many great figures in the world of mathematics, from Euclid and Fibonacci to Euler and Fermat, have pondered, and we will learn what these geniuses have discovered for us in numbers.
