Inspired by the complexity of the structure of snowflakes, Anna Boleyn's eleven fingers, the possibility of the existence of alien civilizations and other exciting topics, Daniel Tammet tries to find us answers to why we feel time speeding up as we age, whether there is an average person, or how we can understand our loved ones.
In the world of the world-renowned autistic genius, the beauty of mathematics shines through all areas of life and thinking. In his new book, he provides insight into his unique, special way of thinking with the help of personal stories, everyday or even historical and literary examples. Through his thoughts, we readers also get a chance to feel what makes numbers, multiplications, equations and other operations enjoyable.
Our Existence in Numbers changes the way we have thought about mathematics and proves that it is indeed tangibly present in our everyday lives: in our family life, in our favorite fairy tales and poems, and even in our dreams of the past or the future.
