Infinity is a profoundly counter-intuitive and brain-twisting
subject that has inspired some great thinkers - and provoked and
shocked others. The ancient Greeks were so horrified by the
implications of an endless number that they drowned the man who
gave away the secret. And a German mathematician was driven mad by
the repercussions of his discovery of transfinite numbers. Brian
Clegg and Oliver Pugh's brilliant graphic tour of infinity features
a cast of characters ranging from Archimedes and Pythagoras to
al-Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Cantor, Venn,
Goedel and Mandelbrot, and shows how infinity has challenged the
finest minds of science and mathematics. Prepare to enter a world
of paradox.
