Maths is everywhere, in everything. It's in the finest margins of
modern sport. It's in the electrical pulses of our hearts and the
flight of every bird. It is our key to secret messages, lost
languages and perhaps even the shape of the universe of itself.
David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee reveal the mathematics at the
farthest reaches of our world - from its role in the plots of
novels to how animals employ numerical skills to survive. Along the
way they explore what makes a genius, why a seemingly simple
problem can confound the best and brightest for decades, and what
might be the great discovery of the twenty-first century. As
Bertrand Russell once said, 'mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses
not only truth, but supreme beauty'. Banerjee and Darling make sure
we see it right again.
