The Irrationals: A Story of the Numbers You Can't Count on Havil Julian
An entertaining and enlightening history of irrational numbers, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first centuryThe ancient Greeks discovered them, but it wasn't until the nineteenth century that irrational numbers were properly understood and rigorously defined, and even today not all their mysteries have been revealed. Along the way, he explains why irrational numbers are surprisingly difficult to define--and why so many questions still surround them.
