Ebook {Epub PDF} The Cat in Numberland by Ivar Ekeland

The Cat in Numberland () Ivar Ekeland (author) / John O\'Brien (illustrator) Note: This work of mathematical fiction is recommended by Alex for children.  · Based on mathematician David Hilbert’s famous paradox of the Grand Hotel, The Cat in Numberland offers a refreshingly clear explanation of infinity for readers of all ages. John O’Brien’s imaginative line drawings further elucidate the complex concept, as well as simple functions like addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication/5(20). At Mr. and Mrs. Hilbert's Hotel Infinity, the resident cat is puzzled. The hotel is fully booked -- the rooms are full of Numbers, both Odds and Evens -- yet guests continue to arrive. When Zero shows up, there's a massive room switching, and he stays, even though Mr. Hilbert insists he's not really a Number.5/5(1).

The Cat in Numberland addresses several complex mathematical concepts (such as countable and uncountable infinities) in a very clever and interesting way. It is a short read (56 pages), but manages to entertain, inform, and stimualate those brain cells. A must-read for young and old, math phobics, and "math philics".
