Introducing Infinity: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides)

I enjoyed this book and found it to be an excellent companion to volumes in the same series on Fractals, Chaos, and Quantum Physics. It introduced different ways that infinity can be considered; for example, consider logical ways of finding accommodations at the fully-booked Hilbert's Grand Hotel or explaining the finite volume of Gabriel's Horn despite its infinite volume. Despite occasional brain cramping, I recommend this book.

I bought the book for my grandson's birthday. He loves math and brain-teasers. The book was perfect for him.

Good Read

A fine first book on the basic ideas of transfinite numbers and Cantor's amazing discoveries.

A bit too brief in concept and explanation; fewer clever graphics would have helped.

Awesome book. Great series. Good stuff. You wont be disappointed. I learned a lot. Check this book iut if you know whats good for you.

It's a good overview of the relevant subtopics. Unfortunately, some of the explanations were oversimplified to the point that a reader with no other experience would be left with an inaccurate understanding of the issue discussed. For example, describing classical Greek mathematics as "right-brained" perpetuates multiple popular misconceptions at once. This is the second graphic guide I have read. I will probably continue with more books in the series. They are entertaining and include content that I haven't seen in other introductory materials. Following up with the books in the further reading lists would be a good next step for readers of this series.

This book is mainly about the math of infinity and some history about the development of theories. It does not cover physics nor cosmology in regards to infinity.

Plenty of examples of sets that are of an infinite range and discussion of the problems that Infinity causes in Maths and Physics but no real grappling with the concept of Infinity--like,what is it dude,heavy! Well don't want to go on forever and ever so will cut it short but if I was going to go on forever and ever that would be infinite and if I cut it short then that is still infinity so I am going on and on. Whooaa man!

Mathematicians are like archeologists, they have great imagination and can create something from nothing. Is it too easy to just accept infinity is just that.

A little more simple and basic than I had hoped but fun none the less.

Worth reading.

A good read - well written.
