Beschreibung
The Spirit of Mathematics brings to life the most elementary parts of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry in a new way. It sets out problems and draws out the wonder and 'magic' of finding their solutions with an infectious enthusiasm. Acheson packs a remarkable amount of surprising mathematics into this short work.
