In THE BOOK OF NUMBERS, two famous mathematicians fascinated by beautiful and intriguing number patterns share their insights and discoveries with each other and with readers. John Conway is the showman, master of mathematical games and flamboyant presentations; Richard Guy is the encyclopedist, always on top of problems waiting to be solved. Together they show us why patterns and properties of numbers have captivated mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike for centuries. THE BOOK OF NUMBERS features Conway and Guy's favorite stories about all the kinds of numbers any of us is likely to encounter, and many others besides. "Our aim," the authors write, "is to bring to the inquisitive reader. . .an explanation of the many ways the word 'number' is used." They explore patterns that emerge in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, describe these pattern' relevance both inside and outside mathematics, and introduce the strange worlds of complex, transcendental, and surreal numbers. This unique book brings together facts, pictures and stories about numbers in a way that no one but an extraordinarily talented pair of mathematician/writers could do.Binding Type: Hardcover

Beautiful Pine Garland
Material Type: Norfolk Pine Garland, Size: 6FT(2 PCS), Material Type: Norfolk Pine Garland, Size: 6FT(2 PCS)
I bought these and they are beautiful on my mantel. They look real. They are easy to mold into position. When hanging them one of the strands pulled apart so I would be cautious about pulling them too tight. I was able to use electrical tape to join the pieces back together again and wrap the material back around the joint and continue to use them. I would still purchase this again despite the issue I had.

Very realistic, but easy to clean.

I thought it was going to be the more realistic material but it’s plastic. Honestly I don’t mind because it looks very realistic but since it’s plastic it makes it easier to clean. I love it, it’s thick and it gives the realistic vibe falling, I got it for the my fireplace and it looks great.
