Synopsis
This book provides an illuminating interpretation of number, including both basic arithmetic and advanced concepts such as irrationals and complex numbers. It sets the historical development of these ideas within the context of how we originally conceived and used them to describe everyday reality. The author examines the foundational philosophical questions that stem from our use of number, such as how zero came into being and how we reconcile the idea of a number like √2, which has an infinite and non-repeating sequence of digits, with the need for a numerical system based on repeated and countable units. By engaging with these questions and ideas, this book offers the reader a deeper understanding of mathematical objects that we often take for granted, revealing how our human relationship with number has shaped their evolution and meaning.
