A quite undemanding volume for a Posamentier math popularization, with most of the number explorations confined to the positive integers (sometimes just to their decimal representations). (But phi and pi appear eventually.) Amid all the good stuff also found in numerous other books, topics that were new and interesting to me included Sanskrit verse patterns as a wellspring for the field of combinatorics and the many peculiarities of Pythagorean triples. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Did you grow up thinking math is boring? It's time to reconsider. This book will teach you everything you ever wondered about numbers--and more. How and why did human beings first start using numbers at the dawn of history? Would numbers exist if we Homo sapiens weren't around to discover them? What's so special about weird numbers like pi and the Fibonacci sequence? What about rational, irrational, real, and imaginary numbers? Why do we need them? Two veteran math educators explain it all in ways even the most math phobic will find appealing and understandable. You'll never look at those squiggles on your calculator the same again."
