Alex's Adventures in NumBerland: Dispatches from the Wonderful World of Mathematics

The book is a great piece of work which shows the birth of mathematics at different places and at different times all around the world. This book must be read by everyone who wants to know the birth and developement of mathematics at different places and at different times, all around the globe. The book is well researched and all credits are given to all respective regions not like other authors who just go by the fact that mathematics only prospered in Europe.The author, Mr. Alex Bellos is a nice person too. I wrote an e-mail to him regarding some of my doubts in the book tk which he replied in just half a day.

I really loved the texture and the smell of the book.It was delivered with a beautiful book mark as well.I appreciate the delivery of the book as it came ASAP.This is a complete math Rollercoaster 🎢for the light hearted......And it is a fun read with complete logic for the brave person like you...Go for it..

Yuuiiio

The media could not be loaded.

A sumptuous book for math nerds. A joy to read, delightful to endeavour and companion to the lone days of pandemic. Every curious student and learner should read it.

It's a good book .. an 8th grader found it very amazing .. he can relate things more with this book ..

Bad quality book and small print work.

This is a must read for curious minds. Takes you inside the fascinating world of mathematics. Mathematics runs the universe.

Full of facts I didn’t know anything about

No es de lo mejor del autor

This book covers the world of math as we follow the author on a series of real-life "math adventures." He covers the math of primitive peoples, the ideas of pi, phi, puzzles, probabilities, mystic uses of numbers, and the concept of infinity(s).In these adventures we meet people who apply math in unique ways. We meet a dentist who thinks like an artist. We meet math professors who become professional gamblers. We meet interesting people in history. We meet people who got rich making puzzles.Who knew the many facets of math? I learned that math can become quite an obsession, and that for many, many reasons! If you want a good overview of some of the extremes of mathematics.I hope he does a sequel where he covers fractals, quaternions, and quantum mechanics in some interesting way, but maybe that would be too much to ask...A great book worth reading more than once...

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Alles ok.

I found the layout of each chapter being a different subject all together well written, The subject material was fascinating as well. Great read!
