| Description: | Readers of my popular mathematics books already know how I feel about numbers. Numbers are portals to other universes. Numbers help us glimpse a greater universe that’s normally shielded from our small brains, which have not evolved enough to fully comprehend the mathematical fabric of the universe. Higher mathematical discussions are a little like poetry. The Danish physicist Niels Bohr felt similarly about physics when he said, “We must be clear that, when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.” |
