Mathematics at Your Fingertips. Miracles with Numbers – Simple and Clear

"In this book, Johnny Ball – the most popular British television presenter and a passionate promoter of the exact sciences – tells the story of mathematics in an easy and entertaining way: about its history and practical applications, about mathematical... games and puzzles, about how vibrant and interesting this science can be, even if you were convinced otherwise in school.“I set out to write this book in such a way that it would appeal to readers of all calibers – young and old, scholars and laypeople. As Einstein once said: ‘If you can't explain something to a seven-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.’ I hope that my book will become a reliable companion for you and your friends, helping you see mathematics and the entire world in a clearer and, as much as possible, more favorable light. Mathematics has enriched my life at all its stages; let it enrich yours as well.” (Johnny Ball)"
