Story
Britain's most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know. Science is king. Every week headlines announce new breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe, new technologies that will transform our environment, new medical advances that will extend our lives. Science is giving us unprecedented insight into some of the big questions that have challenged humanity ever since we've been able to formulate those questions.

Story
As a species, we have an extraordinary ability to create works of art that elevate, expand and transform what it means to be human. The novels of Henry James can communicate the inner world of one human being to another. The music of Wagner or Schubert takes us on an emotional roller-coaster ride as we give ourselves up to their sublime sounds. These are the expressions of what Marcus du Sautoy calls ‘the creativity code’.

Story
This 10-part history of mathematics reveals the personalities behind the calculations: the passions and rivalries of mathematicians struggling to get their ideas heard. Professor Marcus du Sautoy shows how these masters of abstraction find a role in the real world and proves that mathematics is the driving force behind modern science.

Story
Many of the artists that we encounter are completely unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common – mathematics being the realm of precise logic and art being the realm of emotion and aesthetics – but what if we’re wrong? Blueprints asks us to consider that mathematics and art may not be polar opposites after all.

Story
Mathematics is full of better ways of thinking, and with more than 2,000 years of knowledge to draw on, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy interrogates his passion for shortcuts in this fresh and fascinating guide. After all, shortcuts have enabled so much of human progress, whether in constructing the first cities around the Euphrates 5,000 years ago, using calculus to determine the scale of the universe or today’s algorithms that help us find a new life partner.

Story
Around the World in 80 Games is about the mathematics of chance, game theory, gamification, gaming strategies and computer games. Traversing the globe, Marcus du Sautoy looks at the genesis of games new and old, explores how to invent a good game and explains the fascination of a popular lockdown game. The most simple games endure: board games, card games and dice games have captivated us for centuries and the acclaimed mathematician and author of The Creativity Code (among many others) will once again bring mathematics to the fore with insight and aplomb in Around the World in 80 Games.

Story
Every time we download a song from iTunes, take a flight across the Atlantic or talk on our mobile phones, we are relying on great mathematical inventions. Maths may fail to provide answers to various of its own problems, but it can provide answers to problems that don't seem to be its own - how prime numbers are the key to Real Madrid's success, to secrets on the internet and to the survival of insects in the forests of North America.

Story
Willkommen im Hotel Unendlichkeit. Es verfügt über eine unendliche Zahl von Zimmern, und in jedem der ankommenden Reisebusse sitzt eine unendliche Zahl von Menschen, die dort übernachten wollen. Wie sie unterbringen? Und gibt es etwa kleinere und größere, also noch unendlichere, überabzählbare Unendlichkeiten? Mit Hilfe der großen, aber endlichen Menge von Neuronen im Gehirn und der sehr viel geringeren, ebenso endlichen Menge von Seiten in diesem Buch fällt es nicht schwer, das Rätsel der Unendlichkeit zu lösen.

Story
Nos han enseñado que el atajo no es recomendable, que es un recurso tramposo, la treta del holgazán. No obstante, para Marcus du Sautoy es una táctica legítima: en las matemáticas, el reino del pensamiento estratégico que emula la lógica de la naturaleza, el atajo nos proporciona la solución de un problema en el menor tiempo y con el menor gasto de energía posibles.
