Numbers: To Infinity and Beyond

What are numbers and where do they come from? This book might give you an idea to questions of this nature, in a concise and accessible manner. Here, the reader will get a quick but packed tour of the world of numbers through mathematician Oliver Linton. He’ll touch upon your questions by taking a look through history, sharing the life and questions that renown mathematicians have had over time. He’ll explore different number notation systems -- beyond our use of Arabic numerals -- and topics such as rational and irrational numbers. This book contains illustrations, tables, and more visualizations to help convey his ideas.

Linton is the author of Fractals, another offering in the Wooden Books Series.
