Barry Mazur invites lovers of poetry to make a leap into mathematics. Through discussions of the role of the imagination and imagery in both poetry and mathematics, Mazur reviews the writings of the early mathematical explorers and reveals the early bafflement of these Renaissance thinkers faced with imaginary numbers. Then he shows us, step-by-step, how to begin imagining these strange mathematical objects ourselves.Mazur, Barry is the author of 'Imagining Numbers (Particularly the Square Root of Minus Fifteen)' with ISBN 9780312421878 and ISBN 0312421877.
