Religious creation myths and scientific theories about the Big Bang are just two of the origin stories for our universe. Could we build a universe using only mathematics, though, if we set those aside and begin with nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space? The Big Bang of Numbers challenges us to attempt in an irreverent, lavishly illustrated, and limitless creative way.
Manil Suri, a mathematician and author, has created a new creation tale for mathematics that follows a logical evolution of concepts required to design our world, beginning with numbers and moving on to geometry, algebra, and beyond. He examines the mathematical foundations for randomness and beauty, reveals the hidden lives of real and imaginary numbers, instructs students in playing abstract games with practical applications, and unearths surprising connections that link simple lifeforms to massive galaxies.
