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, Gödel and Mandelbrot, and shows how infinity has challenged the finest minds of science and mathematics. Prepare to enter a world of paradox.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 166mmItem Length: 120mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 125gAuthor: Brian CleggIllustrator: Oliver PughContributor: Oliver Pugh (Illustrated by)Genre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Graphic GuidesRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
