Numbers L.F. TAYLOR ‘Curiosity is one of the few virtues common to all scientists but unfortun- ately today its satisfaction is mostly dependent upon expensive equipment and closely knit team work, says Mr. Taylor in his preface. ‘The research laboratory of a Theory of Numbers enthusiast can, at a pinch, be equipped with nothing’ more than pencil and paper. And to anyone who hesitates to set up such a laboratory and embark upon his own research because of the view that it has all been done before and there is nothing left to discover I would say with emphasis that this is not true, In mathematics there is always another field beyond the hedge if one can only find the gap to craw] through.’ In Numbers Mr. Taylor suggests some ways in which the gaps may be found and encourages his readers to discover what lies beyond them, and the result is a book which everyone who is drawn to numbers and the problems that arise from them will find fascinating. 40s £2.00 net cum $0.8 mat OOTSAL | Author TANLOR Book Plate CHORLEY COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (BLACKBURN DIVISION) LIBRARY Ss Please sign card legiblyNUMBERS
