Asimov's New Guide to Science
by Isaac Asimov |
In his clear, informal, engaging style, Isaac Asimov explains historic brainteasers and numerical oddities in the fascinating universe of numbers. From man's first act of counting to higher mathematics, from the smallest living creature to the dazzling reaches of outer space, Asimov is a master at "explaining complex material better than any other living person." (The New York Times) You'll learn: HOW to make a trillion seem small; WHY imaginary numbers are real; THE real size of the universe - in photons; WHY the zero isn't "good for nothing;" AND many other marvelous discoveries, in ASIMOV ON NUMBERS.
