Description:
Mathematics is the science of patterns and relationships. It is a universal language that can be used to describe everything from the formation of galaxies to the behavior of subatomic particles. In this Very Short , Timothy Gowers explores the nature of mathematics and its place in the world.
Gowers begins by explaining the basic principles of mathematics, such as numbers, sets, and logic. He then shows how these principles can be used to solve problems in a wide range of fields, including physics, engineering, and economics.
Along the way, Gowers introduces some of the most famous mathematicians in history, including Euclid, Archimedes, and Newton. He also discusses the different branches of mathematics, such as algebra, geometry, and calculus.
Mathematics is a vast and complex subject, but Gowers' clear and concise writing makes it accessible to anyone who is interested in learning more about it. This Very Short is the perfect place to start.
