The book begins with an old magic trick: Take a 3-digit number, for example, 782, reverse it, subtract the smaller from the larger, and add the reversal. So: 782 - 287 = 495, then 495 + 594. And just like that, you are in the wondrous world of mathematics, because the result is always: 1089. With such examples and many more from everyday life, history, and science, David Acheson succeeds in unlocking the fascinating world of mathematics: a witty overview, an introduction that is understandable for everyone.
