1	Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity more books like this by David Foster Wallace DAVID FOSTER WALLACE brings his intellectual ambition and bravura style to the story of how mathematicians have struggled to understand the infinite, from the ancient Greeks to the nineteenth-century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's counterintuitive discovery that there is more than one kind of infinity. see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.25! \| first editions \| SVS
2	The Art of the Infinite: The Pleasures of Mathematics more books like this by Robert Kaplan, Ellen Kaplan In this delightful new book, Kaplan and his wife, Ellen, once again take readers on a witty, literate, and accessible tour of the world of mathematics. Where "The Nothing That Is" looked at math through the lens of zero, "The Art of the Infinite" takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking. see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.34! \| first editions \| SVS
3	Anno's Magic Seeds more books like this by Mitsumasa Anno A wizard gives jack two magic seeds. 'Eat one,' he says, 'and you won't be hungry for another year. Bury the other and it will produce two more seeds.' Jack does as he is told the first year, but in the second year he buries two, not one. Jack's magic seeds grow by ones and twos--and more--and the reader adds and subtracts his or her way through ... see all copies from $3.68! new only from $5.21! \| first editions \| SVS
