Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Math Without Numbers is a vivid and wholly original guide to the three main branches of abstract math - topology, analysis and algebra - which turn out to be surprisingly easy to grasp. Milo Beckman upends the conventional approach to mathematics, inviting you to think creatively about shape and dimension, the infinite and infinitesimal, symmetries, proofs and how these concepts all fit together. How many shapes are there? Is anything bigger than infinity? And can mathematics even be described as 'true'?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
