Описание: Lewis Carroll's books have delighted children and adults for generations, but behind their exuberant fantasy and delightful nonsense was the mind of a brilliant mathematician. Now his forgotten achievements in the world of numbers are brought to light by acclaimed author and mathematician Robin Wilson. Here he explores the curious imagination of a man whose pioneering work at Oxford University included investigations into voting patterns and tennis seeding, who dreamt up numerical conundrums in bed at night and who filled his writings with problems, paradoxes, puzzles and teasing games of logic.

Taking us into a world of mock turtles and maps, gryphons and gravity, "Lewis Carroll in Numberland" reveals the singular mind of a genius.

Описание: Explores the singular imagination Lewis Carroll - the creator of "Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass". This book shows how this mind was not limited to the exuberant fantasy and word play of his children`s books which brim with mathematical allusions - arithmetical, geometrical, logical and mechanical.
