| Description | For thousands of years, the number pi has fascinated humankind. It is useful for calculating everything from fences and ships to footballs, but above all, pi is infinite, irrational, and mysterious. Somewhere in its endless sequence of digits are every person’s date of birth, entire pieces of music, and the complete works of Shakespeare. Pi never ends, and people have never stopped trying to calculate it. We now know trillions of its decimal places, although the first fifteen are more than enough to send a spacecraft to the Moon.
Written by a mathematician and magician fascinated by pi together with a children’s author, The Big Book of Pi takes the reader on a journey through history, geography, philosophy, and mathematics in search of this elusive number and the strange beauty that has captivated people for centuries. Along the way, the book also introduces tricks, mathematical curiosities, and jokes that can be used to surprise friends. |
