Incredible Numbers makes for fascinating reading, but only for somebody with a good grasp of maths or, at the very least, a decent mathematical brain. To be fair, you probably wouldn’t consider this book if you had neither of these things. To the numerically-challenged, reading this book might seem like rather hard work. But if you’re prepared to make the effort, you’ll find it gives you a far-reaching introduction to the world of maths, from ancient concepts right up to string theory, and you’ll be well rewarded.
For more mathematical mayhem from the Prof, take a look at his [[17 Equations That Changed The World by Ian Stewart|17 Equations That Changed The World]]. And in a similar vein but by a different author, try [[Alex's Adventures In Numberland by Alex Bellos]]. We think you'll also enjoy [[Professor Stewart's Casebook of Mathematical Mysteries by Ian Stewart|Professor Stewart's Casebook of Mathematical Mysteries]] and
