About this ebook
In the American Mathematical Society's first-ever book for kids (and
kids at heart), mathematician and author Richard Evan Schwartz leads
math lovers of all ages on an innovative and strikingly illustrated
journey through the infinite number system. By means of engaging,
imaginative visuals and endearing narration, Schwartz manages the
monumental task of presenting the complex concept of Big Numbers in
fresh and relatable ways. The book begins with small, easily observable
numbers before building up to truly gigantic ones, like a nonillion, a
tredecillion, a googol, and even ones too huge for names!
