Mathematics at Your Fingertips. Miracles with Numbers – Simple and Clear

"In this book, Johnny Ball – the most popular British television presenter and passionate popularizer of the exact sciences – tells about mathematics in a light and engaging way: about its history and practical application, about mathematical games and puzzles, and about how lively and interesting this science can be, even if you were convinced otherwise at school.

«I set out to write this book so that it would appeal to readers of all calibers – young and old, scholars and laymen. As Einstein once said: “If you can't explain something to a seven-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.” I hope that my book will become a reliable companion for you and your friends, helping you see mathematics, and indeed the entire world, in a clearer and, if possible, more favorable light. Mathematics has enriched my life at all its stages; let it enrich yours too.» (Johnny Ball)"
