THE IRRATIONALS
by Julian Havil
Published by Princeton University Press. Circa. 2012
Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A Story of the Numbers You Can't Count On. Burgundy cloth with gilt title to spine. The ancient Greeks discovered them, but it wasn't until the 16th century that irrational numbers were properly understood and rigorously defined, and even today not all their mysteries have been revealed.
2nd printing. Light fading along cover edges. Wrapper is grubby with some edge-creasing.
