The book is just one in a series focusing on "The Lighter Side of Mathematics." In it, you'll learn concepts such as: - What it means when something is called "an infinite set;" - When it's correct to say "the part is less than the whole;" - What it means when something is "enumerable." The facts you'll learn provide depth and dimension to the classical study of mathematics and will ignite your curiosity factor about numbers--no matter how old or young you are. If you've always struggled to understand or enjoy math, then it's time to boost your confidence by looking at it in new ways. It begins with Counting the Uncountable.
