In this charming volume, a noted English mathematician uses humor and anecdote to illuminate the concepts underlying "new math"--groups, sets, subsets, topology, Boolean algebra, and more. By the time readers finish this book, they shall have a much clearer grasp of how modern mathematicians look at figures, function, and formulas, leading them to a better comprehension of the nature of the mathematics itself.
