One to Nine: The Inner Life of Numbers

Andrew Hodges is best known as the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma, the story of the extraordinary British computer pioneer and codebreaker, which the New Yorker recently described as 'one of the finest scientific biographies ever written.' He is also active in research into fundamental physics, a colleague of Roger Penrose, and a lecturer at Wadham College, Oxford University.

A virtuoso stream of consciousness containing everything important there is to say about numbers. . . . Cogent, charming and deeply personal. . . . One to Nine makes the unfathomable enticing and gives the reader tremendous motivation to explore further.
