Description
The concept of infinity has long been a source of fascination and frustration for thinkers. From ancient Greeks to modern mathematicians, the idea of an endless number has inspired great minds while provoking intense debate. Brian Clegg's graphic guide explores this complex subject through the lives and work of influential figures such as Archimedes, Pythagoras, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Cantor, Venn, Gödel, and Mandelbrot. By examining their contributions to our understanding of infinity, Clegg sheds light on a world of paradoxes that continue to challenge scientists and mathematicians today. This book offers a unique perspective on one of the most mind-bending subjects in mathematics and science, inviting readers to enter a world where the boundaries of logic are constantly pushed.
