He explains important mathematical concepts with both clarity and precision, making them understandable to every reader. This is one of the best books about mathematics I have ever read."--Amir D. Aczel, author of "Chance: A Guide to Gambling, Love, the Stock Market, and Just About Everything Else" and "Fermat's Last Theorem: Unlocking the Secret of an Ancient Mathematical Problem"
