René Descartes is one of the formative figures in Western philosophy, logic and mathematics. His famous statement: "I think, therefore I am," has become perhaps the most famous phrase in all of philosophy. Descartes’s ground-breaking writings attempted to establish unshakeable foundations of knowledge, and set a trend for subsequent Western philosophy, which has endlessly critiqued and expanded upon his ideas.

Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.

John Evelyn was a 17th century polymath, with interests in the fine arts, architecture, gardening, as well as anatomy and the natural sciences. He was a fervent supporter of the Stuart monarchy and lived abroad during much of the English Civil War. His Diaries, which rank alongside those of Samuel Pepys for perceptive commentary on the times in which he lived, span his adult years. (Summary by Anthony Ogus)

Why does mathematics—a creation of the human mind—describe the physical world with such extraordinary precision? Why do equations invented for one purpose turn out, decades or centuries later, to be the perfect language for a completely different realm of nature? In 1960, the Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner called this correspondence a 'gift we neither understand nor deserve.' The question has haunted science ever since. In this book, Boris Kriger proposes an answer that is at once simple and profound: mathematics describes the world because only the mathematically structured survives.
