Product Details

The thoughts and deeds of great thinkers always make great stories, and here are one hundred of the most significant. Each story relates to a confounding puzzle that became a discovery and changed the way we see the world. 

Includes a 12-page, 2.5 meter pull out timeline poster with over 1000 milestone facts – great to use to track great events that were happening at the same time.

PONDERABLES MATHEMATICS

This volume tracks the work of history’s greatest mathematicians, ancient and modern. From Pythagoras, whose love of numbers led to a violent death and made him perhaps a murdered; to Fibonacci, whose guide for bookkeepers changed the way we add; and Descartes, who took inspiration from a fly to convert numbers into shapes and back again – changing maths for ever.

Take a journey that goes beyond school-day sums and get a glimpse of the true power of mathematics.
