Ian Stewart
PROFESSOR STEWART'S INCREDIBLE NUMBERS - 1 - London Profile 2015/01/01 - 341
A delightful introduction to the numbers that surround us, from the common (Pi and 2) to the uncommon but no less consequential (1.059463 and 43,252,003,274,489,856,000). Along the way, Stewart takes us through prime numbers, cubic equations, the concept of zero, the possible positions on the Rubik's Cube, the role of numbers in human history, and beyond!
