Riassunto

We can't conceive of things occuring by chance, so we make up stories to explain what has happened. In this entertaining book bestselling author John Allen Paulos shows how mathematical understanding -- or lack of it -- profoundly affects the way weunderstand our world. 'One never knows what delightful surprise is coming next. You will learn a lot from this entertaining yet far from superficial book' - Martin Gardner
