The Art of the Infinite Résumé

The Art of the Infinite: Our Lost Language of Numbers Robert Kaplan

The text starts from the basics, moving systematically to the frontiers of the topic. The authors draw on science, literature, history, biography and philosophy, clarifying the knowledge that patterns of mathematics are everywhere.
