777 Mathematical Conversation Starters

Beschreibung

Accessible to mathematicians and non-mathematicians, 777 Mathematical Conversation Starters shows there exist few degrees of separation between mathematics and topics that provoke interesting conversations. The topics presented include thought-provoking conversation starters. The format is unique, too: Topics (conversation starters) are numbered, extensively cross-referenced, and divided into small digestible units.
