Description
The Ancient Greeks were so horrified by the implications of an endless number that they drowned the man who gave away the secret. A German mathematician was driven mad by the repercussions of his discovery of transfinite numbers. How will you fare? Brian Clegg and Oliver Pugh's brilliant graphic introduction to Infinity is the unique, endlessly fascinating guide.
