How many trillions are there in a googol? Which fractions are vulgar? What famous mathematician refused to eat beans? And which one never travelled without his pet spider in an ivory box?

From the Difference Engine to magic squares and from the Fibonacci rabbits to Fermat's Last Theorem, this fascinating tour of the weird world of numbers - imaginary, real or infinite - will appeal to anyone with an enquiring mind.
14 cm x 18 cm 162 page hardcover.
