The Kingdom of Infinite Number: A Field GuideHenry Holt and Company, 15 сент. 2001 г. - Всего страниц: 398 Just as bird guides help watchers tell birds apart by their color, songs, and behavior, The Kingdom of Infinite Number is the perfect handbook for identifying numbers in their native habitat.

The result provides new insights into mathematical patterns and relationships and an increased appreciation for the sheer wonder of numbers. |
