Recensione
"Not in many, many years have I seen a book nearly as instructive, enlightening, and sheer fun about the beauty of mathematics. Life by the Numbers is truly superb." Amir Aczel, author of Fermat′s Last Theorem
"A beautiful book. . . . The aim is not to teach but to entertain, and it succeeds. The view that mathematics is dull is replaced by an image of how math can be both interesting and useful, if not all–powerful." New Scientist
"Life by the Numbers provides a fascinating and readable account of many of the ways in which mathematical ideas find application in the world around us. Keith Devlin is to be congratulated for bringing these ideas so accessibly to the public at large." Sir Roger Penrose, author of The Emperor′s New Mind
A recent article entitled "Get smart by getting some of these books" ran by The Associated Press in newspapers nationwide. "Keith Devlin′s LIFE BY THE NUMBERS shows you how to look at math in a wider perspective, observing how it affects everything you do in life. This book deliberately leaves out equations and formulae so you can concentrate on what math is really for." The Associated Press, nationally syndicated wire service
