Most people love Mathematics. The problem is they don't know it. Mathematics was born in prehistoric times to be useful. Numbers were used to count the sheep of a flock, for example. Geometry facilitated the measurement of fields and the marking of roads.

Things could have remained there; however, over the centuries, Homo sapiens continued to explore, filled with curiosity, the intricate paths of this science that became increasingly abstract, increasingly theoretical.

Of course, the history of mathematics was written by people – and indeed, exceptionally intelligent ones. However, don't be deceived: the protagonists of this adventure are the ideas. Those little ideas that suddenly emerge from the depths of the mind are spread from century to century and from continent to continent, expanding, blossoming, and revealing to us, often against our will, a world whose richness takes our breath away.

By reading The Great Adventure of Mathematics, you will discover that mathematics is beautiful, poetic, impressive, enchanting... The number pi is captivating. The Fibonacci sequence and the golden number lead us down unexpected paths. Equations challenge us, and the infinitesimals gracefully come to free our minds from paradoxes.

Even if you never understood anything about mathematics, even if you once hated them, this book will help you give them a second chance. And you will probably be surprised...
