DescriptionIntroducing Infinity: A Graphic Guide by Brian Clegg (Author), Oliver Pugh (Illustrator)  {BinanGotit} Format: epub / mobi / pdf Product Details Paperback: 176 pages Publisher: Icon Books Ltd (September 25th 2012) Language: English ISBN-10: 184831406X ISBN-13: 978-1848314061 Infinity is a profoundly counter-intuitive and brain-twisting subject that has inspired some great thinkers - and provoked and shocked others. The ancient Greeks were so horrified by the implications of an endless number that they drowned the man who gave away the secret. And a German mathematician was driven mad by the repercussions of his discovery of transfinite numbers. Brian Clegg and Oliver Pugh's brilliant graphic tour of infinity features a cast of characters ranging from Archimedes and Pythagoras to al-Khwarizmi, Fibonacci, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Cantor, Venn, Godel and Mandelbrot, and shows how infinity has challenged the finest minds of science and mathematics. Prepare to enter a world of paradox.  Sharing Widget |
