He explores a wide range of concepts, some more lighthearted, others central to the development of the field and used daily by mathematicians, physicists, and engineers." "Accessible to anyone with basic calculus, this book is a treasure trove of ideas that will entertain, amuse, and bemuse students, teachers, and math lovers of all ages."--Jacket | |
