Summary:
"Alex Bellos rescued math from the geeks with Alex’s Adventures in Numberland (published here as Here’s Looking at Euclid). A quest for the world’s most weird and wonderful mathematical phenomena; it won rave reviews and huge sales in his native UK. In this continuation of the journey started in Numberland, Alex Bellos has sought out amazing stories from prominent mathematicians, scientists, innovators and businesspeople. He goes deeper than ever, into some terrifying-looking territory--trigonometry, calculus, the square root of minus one--but it is his great gift that he is able to make even the most daunting concepts a revelatory delight for the non-mathematical reader."--From publisher.
