Why seemingly unrelated mathematical truths are connected in simple
and beautiful equations continues to stump even mathematicians.
This recreational math book takes the reader on a fantastic voyage
into the world of natural numbers. From the earliest discoveries of
the ancient Greeks to various fundamental characteristics of the
natural number sequence, Clawson explains fascinating mathematical
mysteries in clear and easy prose. He delves into the heart of
number theory to see and understand the exquisite relationships
among natural numbers, and ends by exploring the ultimate mystery
of mathematics: the Riemann hypothesis, which says that through a
point in a plane, no line can be drawn parallel to a given
line.While a professional mathematician's treatment of number
theory involves the most sophisticated analytical tools, its basic
ideas are surprisingly easy to comprehend. By concentrating on the
meaning behind various equations and proofs and avoiding technical
refinements, "Mathematical Mysteries" lets the common reader catch
a glimpse of this wonderful and exotic world.
