The Art of the Infinite : The Pleasures of Mathematics Hardcover - 2003

by Kaplan, Robert, Kaplan, Ellen

  • Used

In this delightful new book, Kaplan and his wife, Ellen, once again take readers on a witty, literate, and accessible tour of the world of mathematics. Where "The Nothing That Is" looked at math through the lens of zero, "The Art of the Infinite" takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking.
