"Every time we download music, take a flight across the Atlantic or
talk on our cell phones, we are relying on great mathematical
inventions. In The Number Mysteries, one of our generations
foremost mathematicians Marcus du Sautoy offers a playful and
accessible examination of numbers and how, despite efforts of the
greatest minds, the most fundamental puzzles of nature remain
unsolved. Du Sautoy tells about the quest to predict the future
from the flight of asteroids to an impending storm, from bending a
ball like Beckham to forecasting population growth. He brings to
life the beauty behind five mathematical puzzles that have
contributed to our understanding of the world around us and have
helped develop the technology to cope with it. With loads of games
to play and puzzles to solve, this is a math book for
everyone"--Provided by publisher.
