From Zero to Infinity

From Zero to Infinity is a combination of number lore, number history, and sparkling descriptions of the simply stated, but exceedingly difficult problems posed by the most ordinary numbers that first appeared in 1955, and has been kept in print continuously ever since. With the fifth edition, this classic has been updated to report on advances in number theory over the last 50 years, including the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Deceptively simple in style and structure, it is a book to which the reader will return again and again, gaining greater understanding and satisfaction with each reading.
