Rezensionen

Cottrell's book is a feast for curious minds, particularly those hungry for more equations and deeper mathematical detail than what is usually present in scientific books aimed at a general audience. Representing a sort of dialogue between the author and readers of the website Ask a Mathematician / Ask a Physicist, one finds big questions ranging from reasonable ("What does E=mc2 mean?") to outlandish ("What would the Earth be like to us if it were a cube?") to outright mind-bending ("Does quantum mechanics really say there is more than one me?") - all answered in friendly yet satisfyingly detailed short articles. Readers are sure to finish the book aware of a richer, more nuanced universe, and with many big questions of their own.
