Clear, clever and friendly
- Alex Bellos,
A spirited and friendly guide - appealingly down to earth about math that's extremely far out
- Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to Be Wrong,
Witty, charming, and crystal clear. A brilliant book!
- Ian Stewart, author of Calculating the Cosmos,
An individual journey into numbers from an absolutely fresh perspective
Royal Society Prize judges’ citation
Mesmerising ... Cheng's argument about how our minds are stretched in the effort to conceive infinity is ultimate proof that it's the journey, not the destination, which counts
Big Issue
It takes a talented writer to bring the concept of infinity to life, but Cheng's infectious enthusiasm makes maths a delight
