About this product

Product Information

In the computerized world of today no one can avoid the impact of mathematics on almost every aspect of our lives, yet most people believe they cannot hope to understand or enjoy the subject. This lively and comprehensive survey sets out to show just how mistaken they are. Dr Devlin's television appearances and popular Guardian column have revealed his gift for making difficult topics accessible, and in this book he offers a glimpse of the extraordinary vistas and bizarre universes opened up by contemporary mathematicians: the theory of knots and secret codes, Hilbert's tenth problem and the four-colour theorem, business-planning techniques and strange number systems.
