A Brief History of Infinity - The Quest to Think the Unthinkable
Author(s): Brian Clegg
We human beings have trouble with infinity - yet infinity is a surprisingly human subject. This title takes us on a tour of that borderland between the extremely large and the ultimate that takes us from Archimedes, counting the grains of sand that would fill the universe, to the theories on the physical reality of the infinite.
