About this listen

Numbers. Like the alphabet, they’re one of the most elementary of concepts learned and memorized at a young age; but outside of figuring out tips and taxes, you probably haven’t given much thought to them since then. To a mathematician, every number has its own unique properties and personality - and when studied, played with, and manipulated, numbers can actually be tons of fun.

Learn to appreciate the wonder and awe of numbers as you count up through the sequence with renowned “mathemagician” Arthur T. Benjamin. You’ll start with the original zero, lucky number seven, and the fabulous Fibonacci numbers and work your way through to irrational numbers, pi, and the awesome number infinity. While on this entertaining, humorous, and insightful journey, you’ll pick up some amazing tips and tricks that will allow you to solve complex math problems in your head, take advantage of the odds, and understand God’s Equation...plus, so much more.

Once you experience the joy of numbers, you’ll find your passion for them is contagious.

Interesting stuff

I enjoyed this quite a lot, but got lost in parts with trigonometry section. would have been lively for him to talk a bit more about the applications of these numbers and ideas. also nothing on fractal, which was sort why I chose the book. worth it though.
