The Path to the Essence of Things. How to Understand the World Through Mathematics

For many of us, math lessons in school were a torture, while those who understood it seemed like superhumans endowed with a special gift. In reality, there is no "math gene"; this science turns out to be an exciting adventure if you only engage your intuition and imagination. David Bessis is convinced of this—not only a mathematician but also a talented teacher. Instead of dry lectures and rote memorization of formulas, he invites the readers of his book to embark on a wonderful journey where mathematics becomes the most important tool for understanding the world. You will learn how mathematics can change your perspective on the world and make complex things more comprehensible.
