Have you ever thought about the uniqueness and simplicity of One? Is Four really so square and why are there Seven days of the week, Seven deadly sins, indeed Seven wonders of the world? This book takes a hands-on approach to such various topics as musical harmony, the probabilities in poker, code breaking and the lottery.
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.
