Quando é que os seres humanos ataram os primeiros nós? Por que razão foi assassinada a primeira mulher matemática? Será possível voltar uma esfera do avesso? Estas são apenas algumas perguntas provocadoras que obtêm resposta neste livro maravilhoso. O autor, Clifford A. Pickover, revela-nos a magia e o mistério por trás de alguns dos marcos mais significativos da matemática, assim como os objetos e os pensamentos mais antigos que a Humanidade alguma vez contemplou, recuando 150 milhões de anos, até aos últimos progressos tecnológicos de ponta. A matemática está presente em qualquer domínio do esforço científico.

The magic squares article inspired me to develop a standard 3-sided magic square, so now I actually know some basic principles about the simplest magic square there is.… (mehr)
