Numbers, like letterforms, have a rich and complex history. Who first invented them? How old are they, and how were they developed? How did they come to represent a world of abstract ideas and universal concepts? This information-packed volume uses plain language to describe the basic principles of numbers—arithmetic, whole numbers, natural numbers, the concepts of zero and infinity—as well as the ways in which numbers and their symbolism have been used in art and other disciplines.
