Few mathematical mysteries have captured the imagination as much as pi - the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. For 4000 years we have struggled with this magical number, David Blatner tells the story of pi: from Archimedes to da Vinci, from Newton to the Chudnovsky brothers.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated Throughout (illustrator). First Printing. Yellow cloth with purple metallic lettering. Appears unread. Text is clean and white, no marks. Unclipped DJ clean and bright. "No number has captured the attention and imagination of people throughout the ages as much as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius. Pi- or as it is symbolically known- is infinite and, in this book, it proves to be infinitely intriguing. With historical insight and a refreshing sense of humor, the author explores the many facets of pi and humankind's fascination with it- from the ancient Egyptians and Archimedes to Leonardo da Vinci and the modern-day Chudnovsky brothers, who has calculated pi to eight billion digits with a homemade super-computer."
