The irresistibly engaging book that "enlarges one's wonder at
Tammet's mind and his all-embracing vision of the world as grounded
in numbers." --Oliver Sacks, MD
THINKING IN NUMBERS is the book that Daniel Tammet, mathematical
savant and bestselling author, was born to write. In Tammet's
world, numbers are beautiful and mathematics illuminates our lives
and minds. Using anecdotes, everyday examples, and ruminations on
history, literature, and more, Tammet allows us to share his unique
insights and delight in the way numbers, fractions, and equations
underpin all our lives.
Inspired variously by the complexity of snowflakes, Anne Boleyn's
eleven fingers, and his many siblings, Tammet explores questions
such as why time seems to speed up as we age, whether there is such
a thing as an average person, and how we can make sense of those we
love. His provocative and inspiring new book will change the way
you think about math and fire your imagination to view the world
with fresh eyes.
