Through 23 chapters, the authors take us into the unfathomable world of numbers and their handlings. From an almost exhaustive eclecticism, this book deals with imaginary numbers, irrational or first, logarithmic and exponential functions, but also IP latitude / longitude, paving, structures "honeycomb" of relativity, meteorology , mapping, social networking, infinity ... The approach courseware is very far from a mathematical treatise. The numbers and their uses are not considered as virtual entities participating but as tools for understanding our world. This is what makes all the chapters so captivating. Punctuated with many examples, diagrams and anecdote (special mention in the chapter of the number McNugget ...!), This book reads like fiction. However, even if the style is simple and clear way, the reading requires good concentration. I think an appetite for numbers, calculations and sciences, associated with good mathematical literacy will fully appreciate this work.
