Images of Infinity

About this book

Ideas and Explorations of the Meaning of Infinity Who has not wondered if there is something beyond the universe? Or if there is a biggest number? Or if there is something smaller than the smallest thing? These are questions about different infinities. Exploring the paradoxes and riddles of what infinity means is the invitation contained in this book. This classic book, written by the seminal Leapfrogs team, has been visually updated in this second edition for a new generation. A great addition to any mathematician's library - and to school and public libraries too. Explorations for all ages. Elegant, thought provoking and wonderful.
