      Overview

      The book investigates the enthralling history of numbers – how they were invented, what they mean, how they evolved, how the concept of infinity was achieved and much more. In the labyrinth of the continuum – an expression coined by Leibniz for philosophical issues related to real numbers – maths is our thread of Ariadne that helps us find our way and describe time and space. The author shows us the relationship between maths and philosophy in the interpretation of the world, beginning with real numbers and sets and also tackling derivatives as well as solved and unsolved maths problems.
      We will discover that maths is the key tool to knowledge and a crucial part of culture; it is not for just a select few but can in fact be understood by everyone.
