Recenzii
Praise for Ian Stewart: 'Humbling and inspiring. Stewart shows with his typical clarity how the power of pure thought has shaped our world for over two millennia
This is not pure maths. It is maths contaminated with wit, wisdom, and wonder ... A mind-boggling journey from the ultra trivial to the profound
An engaging history ... [Stewart] at his best
Captivating ... Ian Stewart shows us how math makes the world - and the rest of the universe - go round
Stewart has served up the instructive equivalent of a Michelin-starred tasting menu
Richly informative [and] revealing ... If you believe mathematics offers little of practical use, Stewart is back to show you the error of your ways
This is a superb Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities that deserves a place with the classics of the genre.
Intriguing ... [Do Dice Play God? is] a challenging but rewarding trip through a quantum world of uncertainties.
The innumerate will struggle, but every reader will encounter gems and jolts in this expert analysis of probability
[An] entertaining guide
[Stewart] can make tricky ideas simple ... with aplomb
We live in a mathematically driven world in this 21st Century world that we have created, but oftentimes the mathematics is completely hidden from the end-user. Professor Stewart brings the mathematics out into the open
