Visions of Numberland: A Colouring Journey Through the Mysteries of Maths by Alex Bellos

A 'mathemagical' colouring book, with 60 patterns to colour and 10 more that YOU create! For those who ponder the most intriguing questions in maths, the realm of numbers is not only visual but also beautiful. What does a sphere look like in four dimensions? How can a knight on a chessboard visit every square? And can a five-sided tile cover an infinite floor? Visions of Numberland unlocks the world's greatest mathematical mysteries, with 60 patterns to colour in and 10 more that you can create from scratch. The friendly explanations next to each pattern unlock the secrets of an intellectual quest that has been underway for three thousand years - but no maths knowledge is required. Anyone can be an artist in Numberland!

Visions of Numberland Reviews

Beautiful...Alex and Edmund have smuggled in some of the best mathematical stories into this visual feast. By engaging the reader in their visual journey the authors show how mathematics isn't a spectator sport. Maths comes alive when you make it yourself. * Marcus du Sautoy, Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford *
This is by far the most entertaining maths book I've seen in a long time. Want to show someone what maths is about? Tell them to forget everything they've read. Then, hand them this book and a box of 100 crayons, and leave them alone for an hour. There's no way you'll get your copy back. Amazing! * Adrian Paenza, bestselling maths author and winner of the International Congress of Mathematicians Leelavati Award *
My six-year-old and I are both loving the mathy new coloring book Visions of the Universe * Jordan Ellenberg, PhD, author of How Not to Be Wrong *
Delightful, informative, and fun! * Steven Strogatz, author of The Joy of x *
I love this new math coloring book! I want the Menger slice as a Christmas ornament. * Manil Suri, University of Maryland professor of maths and bestselling author of The Death of Vishnu *
