Quando é que os seres humanos ataram os primeiros nós? Por que razão foi assassinada a primeira mulher matemática? Será possível voltar uma esfera do avesso? Estas são apenas algumas perguntas provocadoras que obtêm resposta neste livro maravilhoso. O autor, Clifford A. Pickover, revela-nos a magia e o mistério por trás de alguns dos marcos mais significativos da matemática, assim como os objetos e os pensamentos mais antigos que a Humanidade alguma vez contemplou, recuando 150 milhões de anos, até aos últimos progressos tecnológicos de ponta.
