MAGIMATHICS

Opis

Magical mathematics = poetry of numbers + mathematics of words.
If such a superb poet as Bina Štampe Žmavc delves into the wonders of mathematics, the result can only be an extraordinary story. Numbers that used to be so puzzling now come to life in a different light. All at once we realise that they share the same fates as people – they can be lonely, in love, fun, patient, fatal, magical and more. In an ingeniously insightful way, Bina Štampe Žmavc shows us that the laws and rules of mathematics are in fact a greater part of our lives than we ever could have imagined.
This is why she chose to dedicate a poem to each and every number. She concludes the book with an interesting poem called A Poem for Infinity and Seven Witches, which sparks a real philosophical debate about the dimensions of the modern world and life itself through the eyes of magimathics and in a very imaginative and entertaining way, as she always does in her work.
The illustrations of the marvellous Andreja Peklar bring the stories to life in a most wonderful way. The book also reveals one of the illustrator’s special inventions…
