How big is the universe? How many numbers are there? And is infinity + 1 is the same as 1 + infinity? Such questions occur to young children and our greatest minds. And they are all the same question: What is infinity? In Beyond Infinity, Eugenia Cheng takes us on a staggering journey from elemental math to its loftiest abstractions. Along the way, she considers how to use a chessboard to plan a worldwide dinner party, how to make a chicken-sandwich sandwich, and how to create infinite cookies from a finite ball of dough.

good math too many personal stories
Revisado: 10-19-18
I think the first few chapters are the best because she talks a lot about how to solve thought problems dealing with infinity, but then as the book progress she likes to intertwine personal stories to help us relate but it's a serious distraction from the math that I came for.
