Synopsis

You may still vaguely remember the math you learned in school: geometry, algebra, calculus, or you may have long since forgotten all of this knowledge. You may be good at calculations, or you may suffer from "math phobia" and do everything possible to avoid dealing with numbers. No matter what kind of person you are, mankind's extraordinary achievements in mathematics over thousands of years have shaped and changed your world and life. Columbus's discovery of the New World benefited from his understanding of triangles, and the birth of modern industrial society began with the mastery of numbers. Mathematics provided the chisel for the Renaissance and enabled the birth of great architecture around the world. Numbers are the universal language of all mankind, and businessmen with language barriers can rely on mathematics to establish mutually beneficial trade. Mathematics is also the fuel that powers humankind's ambitions, from free markets to the moon landing. Our lifestyles, institutions and infrastructure are all built on numbers. Whether it's business, housing, medicine, politics, war, agriculture, art, travel, technology, almost every aspect of our existence is built on mathematics. The human story is closely intertwined with mathematics, and we can always find joy and meaning in mathematics.

Reader comments

This book is really interesting! It allowed me to see the ubiquity of mathematics in life, and also gave me a new understanding of complex mathematical knowledge. I especially like the application of mathematics in the fields of art and architecture mentioned in the book. It turns out that mathematics is not just a bunch of numbers and formulas, but can also be so beautiful and interesting! And the author is very good at telling stories, making seemingly boring mathematical concepts come alive. In short, I think this is a book worth reading. No matter what your attitude towards mathematics is, you can find fun in it.
