What’s it about?
Daniel Tammet’s Thinking In Numbers: On Life, Love, Meaning, and Math is about seeing the beauty in math and numbers, and finding them in every part of life. When the average person thinks about imagination, math isn’t the first thing that springs to mind. Tammet sees things differently, holding math as the key to limitless imagination and finding its influence throughout history all over the world.
Whether or not we know it, math is deeply linked to every aspect of our everyday life – and even more into our imaginations. Just by scaling numbers up or down or by introducing a new variable, a highly mathematical mind can construct and entertain limitless new possibilities in which reality becomes fantastic and the impossible becomes possible.
Tammet shows us how a mathematician thinks, but he also shows us how numbers affect our daily lives. We benefit from numbers and mathematics from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep and every step in-between. They’re part of our work, our imaginations, and even our language. According to Tammet
