Perfect reading material for a visit to Hilbert's Hotel (which has unlimited rooms and hence unlimited spaces in which to read), Eugenia Cheng's new book is an absolute delight. Cheng explores the bizarre implications of the infinite, and shows how not all infinities are the same. Her sense of humor is extraordinary and the examples highly imaginative, making the book a pleasure to read. For example, she compares the power of mathematicians to that of a spoiled child who must face the consequences of asking for (and promptly being eaten by) a pet lion; be careful what you wish for is the valuable lesson. Cheng makes mathematics seem so fun, I can imagine the book inspiring many young readers to pursue careers in the field. All in all, a book as entertaining as the works of Lewis Carroll.-Paul Halpern, author of The Quantum Labyrinth: How Richard Feynman and John Wheeler Revolutionized Time and Reality
I seem to be badly out of step with the current trend in popular science books. The chatty style in this one, including anecdotes from the author's personal life, did not grab me at all. I had the same feeling about a book on the fine structure constant, and my review on that has been poorly received. I have the same feeling about the two books: no worries at all about the expertise of the authors or the science contained in the books. Personally, though, I'd rather put the chat to one side and concentrate on the science. The other reviews of this book (and that) suggest that they are doing a good job in communicating science to the lay reader and I thoroughly approve of such an achievement. So, well done for that, and I'll face up to being out of step.
This book gets pretty abstract at times, and the examples that the author provides are not very good at providing clarity. (Maybe there is no way to make this topic clear though to non-mathematics folks). Having majored in mathematics in college, the book made sense to me and I understood most if not all. The Hilbert Hotel example which I have read about before was well described. However, the chapter on dimensions in mathematics was not very useful or interesting. Einstein has pretty much proven that the fourth dimension is time with his theory of relativity and the examples in this chapter were kind of lame. I would suggest that only those folks who have studied math and are interested in math should read this book.
If you have an interest in mathematics and don't mind stretching your mind in unusual ways this is a great book
I got about 40 pages in and found it kind of boring. I am an engineer by profession, so it wasn't a distaste for math that made me feel that way -- I just felt she was taking too long to build up to the points she was trying to make.
Very good
Eugenia Cheng’s book on infinity is a delightful, deceptively sophisticated introduction to math’s most mind-bending topic. It covers ground that math lovers will find familiar (e.g., Zeno’s paradoxes, Cantor’s theory of transfinite numbers, diverging and converging series, Hilbert’s Hotel, Dedekind and Cantor’s constructions of real numbers). But its artful explanations are highly original—Cheng has a rare knack for translating challenging mathematical abstractions into easily-grasped terms through the use of concrete metaphors and down-to-earth analogies. In one of my favorite examples, she deftly elucidates the strange nature of infinite ordinal numbers by describing the key ideas involved in terms of the amount of hassle involved in accommodating extra guests at an infinitely large hotel. (The Hilbert.) I was also charmed by her explanations of exponential growth in terms of puff pastry (and I learned some interesting baking lore along the way), by her referring to the iPod Shuffle to explain factorial growth, and by her explanation of how to make an infinitely long line of cookies with a (weirdly) finite amount of dough. Superb analogies like these are invaluable for helping non-experts get their minds around math concepts, and dreaming them up requires a special talent for isolating the essence of abstract ideas and figuring out how to put them in familiar terms. (Which I know from personal experience is a lot harder than it looks.) Few writers on math I’ve run across are as good at this as Cheng. I found her book almost shockingly readable, and she engagingly conveys her sense of delight about the mathematical enterprise throughout—it’s baked with joy.
When I read in the introduction that the author works in the area of category theory, I got all excited thinking that the tale would eventually lead there. Nope, that is the last we hear about category theory. the rest of the book does not even cover what I heard about infinity during my first year of college. A few of Cheng's metaphors are indeed useful for illustrating some aspects of the subject, but I was hoping to find out something new about infinity, and there I was left feeling short-changed.
