The Penguin Book of Curious and Interesting Numbers: Revised Edition

Everything you wanted to know about numbers is included in this book, including aliquot sequences, the cattle problem, Pascalâ€™s triangle, and the Syracuse algorithm.

Why was the number of Hardyâ€™s taxi significant? Why does Grahamâ€™s number need its own notation? How many grains of sand would fill the universe? What is the connection between the Golden Ratio and sunflowers? Why is 999 more than a distress call?

All these questions and a host more are answered in this fascinating book, now revised with nearly 200 extra entries as well as 250 additions to the original entries. There is even a comprehensive index for those annoying occasions when you remember the name but canâ€™t recall the number.
