Summary:
These twenty-four half-hour lectures aim to show how mathematics - from the simplest notions of numbers and counting to the more complex ideas of calculus, imaginary numbers, and infinity - is indeed a great source of joy. You will learn that there is more than one way to solve a problem or understand a pattern. Mathematics is food for the brain by helping you to think precisely, decisively, and creatively while looking at the world from multiple perspectives.
