Reviews for Visions of Numberland: A Colouring Journey Through the Mysteries of Maths
Marcus du Sautoy, Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford
This is by far the most entertaining maths book I’ve seen in a long time. Want to show someone what maths is about? Tell them to forget everything they’ve read. Then, hand them this book and a box of 100 crayons, and leave them alone for an hour. There’s no way you’ll get your copy back. Amazing!
