Description
Book SynopsisInstant Mathematics pulls together all the pivotal mathematical theories and discoveries into one concise volume. Each page contains a discrete 'cheat sheet', which tells you the most important facts in bite-sized chunks, meaning you can become an expert in an instant.
From zero to the Riemann Hypothesis, from primes to irrational numbers, and from Pythagoras to John Nash and Roger Penrose, every key figure, theory or term is expressed in succinct and lively text and graphics.
Perfect for the knowledge hungry and time poor, this collection of graphic-led lessons makes mathematics interesting and accessible. Everything you need to know – and more – is here.
