About this item

Imagine a world without numbers... Numbers help to organize the lives of Earth's 7.6 billion people and keep the human world running 'like clockwork'. But they do much more than that. Uncovering the mathematical patterns hidden in nature helps us to explain the history of planet Earth and all the living things that call it home. Numbers are one of the greatest human inventions and we have been able to use numbers to build skyscrapers, design computers, and send humans to the Moon - and robots far beyond.
