Synopsis

Maths infinite mysteries and beauty unfold in this fascinating book. Beginning millions of years ago with ancient 'ant odometers' and moving through time to our modern-day quest for new dimensions, it covers 250 milestones in mathematical history. Among the numerous delights readers will learn about in this inviting anthology include: cicada-generated prime numbers, magic squares from centuries ago, the discovery of pi and calculus and the butterfly effect. Each topic gets a lavishly illustrated spread with stunning colour art, along with formulas and concepts, fascinating facts about scientists lives and real-world applications of the theorems.
