An extraordinarily inventive book that explores a series of intriguing and thought-provoking mathematical mysteries, problems, paradoxes, and "big questions" all related in some way to infinity. 70 illustrations plus a four-page color insert enhance the text, including figures that explain the math and striking computer-generated images which bring the examples to life. For each colorful, mind-expanding example the author provides the mathematical solution and a computer program that can be used by readers to investigate the problem and come up with the answer.
