What makes mathematics so special? Whether you have anxious
memories of the subject from school, or solve quadratic equations
for fun, David Acheson's book will make you look at mathematics
afresh. Following on from his previous bestsellers, The Calculus
Story and The Wonder Book of Geometry, here Acheson highlights the
power of algebra, combining it with arithmetic and geometry to
capture the spirit of mathematics. This short book encompasses an
astonishing array of ideas and concepts, from number tricks and
magic squares to infinite series and imaginary numbers. Acheson's
enthusiasm is infectious, and, as ever, a sense of quirkiness and
fun pervades the book. But it also seeks to crystallize what is
special about mathematics: the delight of discovery; the importance
of proof; and the joy of contemplating an elegant solution. Using
only the simplest of materials, it conjures up the depth and the
magic of the subject.
