Keith Devlin argues in this text that mathematics is an integral part of our everyday lives. His argument is supported with such examples as: what keeps a jumbo jet in the air; how we forecast the weather; and how we predict changes in the stock market.

Reseña del editor
"The great book of nature", said Galileo, "can be read only by those who know the language in which it was written. And this language is mathematics".In The Language of Mathematics, Keith Devlin reveals the vital role mathematics plays in our eternal quest to understand who we are and the world we live in. More than just the study of numbers, mathematics provides us with the eyes to recognize and describe the hidden patterns of life -- patterns that exist in the physical, biological, and social worlds without, and the realm of ideas and thoughts within. Taking the reader on a wondrous journey through the invisible universe that surrounds us -- a universe made visible by mathematics -- Devlin shows us what keeps a jumbo jet in the air, explains how we can see and hear a football game on TV, allows us to forecast the weather, the behavior of the stock market, and the outcome of elections. Microwave ovens, telephone cables, children's toys, pacemakers, automobiles, and computers -- all operate on mathematical principles. Far from a dry and esoteric subject, mathematics is a rich and living part of our culture. An award-winning author, Keith Devlin is a key participant in the new six-part PBS television series "Life by the Numbers", airing in the Spring of 1998. In his books, he conveys both the historical development and the current breadth of mathematics without assuming any technical knowledge or ability on the part of the reader. A brilliant exploration of an often woefully misunderstood subject, The Language of Mathematics celebrates the simplicity, the precision, the punty, and the elegance of mathematics.
