In "The Mathematics of Oz," renowned author Dr. Clifford A. Pickover, alongside Dorothy and Dr. Oz, explores a vast field of numbers, ranging from cyclic prime numbers to unknown, exotic numbers like the Legion’s number, which is so large that it makes one trillion pale in comparison.
Geometry and sequences, series, sets, arrangements, probabilities, number theory, mathematical problems related to the natural world.
"The Mathematics of Oz" is a fun introduction to the history of numbers and the role they play in modern games, artificial intelligence, and everyday life.
“Add two doses of Isaac Asimov, and a dose each of Martin Gardner and Carl Sagan, and you will have Clifford Pickover, one of the most entertaining and profound authors of our time.” (Michael Shermer, editor-in-chief of "Skeptic" magazine)
