Asimov on Numbers

Why computers and people can't use the same number system - and more! With the clear, engaging style for which The New York Times has praised him for "Explaining complex material better than any other living person," Isaac Asimov - author of over 180 books ranging from science and science fiction to history, religion, literature, and geography - startles and fascinates as only he can. Here is Asimov's utterly engrossing exploration of the miraculous universe of numbers - from man's first act of counting to the highest mathematics, from the smallest living creature to the dazzling reaches of farthest space.
