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
