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

I originally bought this to use in photos for my sonβs race themed birthday. It looked perfect with the checkered pattern. But it ended up a favorite blanket in our house because itβs sooo soft!

Comfy blanket
Color: Purple, Size: Throw(50"x60"), Color: Purple, Size: Throw(50"x60")
This blanket is really, really plush and full. The quality feels great and it has a soft, thick texture that makes it super comfortable for sleeping or a quick nap on the couch. Itβs lightweight, breathable, but still warm, and the material feels cozy without being too heavy.
For the value, I definitely think itβs worth the money, and I would buy another one in a different color. It looks nice and feels even better.
