Product Description
Charting the development of maths around the world from Babylon to Bletchley Park, this book explores big questions like these & explains how the answers help us understand everything from patterns in nature to artificial intelligence.
Written in clear English,  The Maths Book is packed with short, pithy explanations that cut through the jargon, step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty theories, memorable"es, & witty illustrations that play with our ideas about numbers.
This diverse & inclusive account of mathematics will have something for everybody, including the maths behind world economies & espionage.
But it also traces the history of maths, from ancient ideas such as magic squares & the abacus to modern cryptography, fractals, & the final proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Continuing the Big Ideas series' trademark combination of authoritative, clear text & bold graphics,  The Maths Book uses an innovative visual approach to make the subject accessible to everyone, whether you're an avid student or just curious about maths.
