Reviews
"I once had a math teacher who used to throw books at us. If only this had been one of them." -- Ben Longstaff - New Scientist
"Informative, intelligent, and refreshingly irreverent. A roller-coaster ride along the frontiers of today's mathematics, and anyone can climb on board. I enjoyed it immensely." -- Ian Stewart, author of Flatterland
