5.88 x 1.13 x 8.5 inches "[Cheng] does a great service by showing us non-mathematician schlubs how real mathematical creativity works." -- Wall Street Journal How big is the universe? How many numbers are there? And is infinity + 1 is the same as 1 + infinity? Such questions occur to young children and our greatest minds. And they are all the same question: What is infinity? In Beyond Infinity, Eugenia Cheng takes us on a staggering journey from elemental math to its loftiest abstractions. Along the way, she considers how to use a chessboard to plan a worldwide dinner party, how to make a chicken-sandwich sandwich, and how to create infinite cookies from a finite ball of dough. Beyond Infinity shows how one little symbol holds the biggest idea of all. 511.3 9780465094813 Perpustakaan STKIP Al Hikmah Surabaya 511.3 CHE b 252280 Perpustakaan STKIP Al Hikmah (500-599) 511.3 CHE b BI.jpg.jpg 2138 2025-05-23 08:45:53 2025-05-23 08:46:11 machine generated
