Summary Annotation A key participant in the public television series Life by the Numbers, Devlin (St. Mary's College of California and Stanford U.) traces the historical development and current breadth of the field for general readers, who are assumed to have no mathematical knowledge or ability. He has basically rewritten and revised Mathematics: The Science of Patterns written for scientifically literate readers. Unfortunately he does not include a bibliography so readers can dig deeper into particular subjects that interest them. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
