by IvarsPeterson (Author)
Peterson pushes past rows of symbols and lines of formulae to explore the central ideas and inspirations behind the work of professional mathematicians in language non-mathematicians can understand. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include all the latest information on proofs, fractals, prime numbers and chaos.
