Signet (Signet Science Library T2824), [Published date: 1965]. Mass market paperback, 309 pp. [Excerpts from rear cover] OLD NUMBERS... NEW INSIGHTS Numbers have been in use for over 7,000 years, but now scientists are taking a new took at them in a dynamic breakthrough called The new mathematics. Irving Adler interprets the radical techniques and applications of the new mathematics in a simple, concise book that every layman can easily understand. For those who want to know why as well as how. A new look at arithmetic explains the fundamental properties and distinctive characteristics of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers... and details the roles they play in mathematical computation from counting apples to measuring a neutron. 'A remarkably lucid book... I have the feeling that I have learned nothing less than a new language, inter esting and exciting, far more supple than I had ever realized.... It is filled with challenges. But it is beautifuny and effectively presented ..A refreshing experience." -LOS ANGELES TIMES
