A new trove of entrancing numbers and delightful mathematical nibbles for adventurous minds
Professor Ian Stewart is the author of many popular science books. He is the mathematics consultant for the New Scientist and a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick. He was awarded the Michael Faraday Medal for furthering the public understanding of science, and in 2001 became a Fellow of the Royal Society.
An ideal present for anyone addicted to Sudoku-like puzzles and
beginning to wonder what might lie beyond

This is not pure maths. It is maths contaminated with wit, wisdom,
and wonder. Ian really is unsurpassed as raconteur of the world of
numbers. He guides us on a mind-boggling journey from the ultra
trivial to the profound.

He guides us on a mind-boggling journey from the ultra trivial to

Stewart has served up the instructive equivalent of a
Michelin-starred tasting menu, or perhaps a smorgasbord of
appetisers. And of course, appetisers are designed to give you an
appetite for more.
