An odyssey across numbers and shapes to decode and master the grand plan. <br /> <br />Hidden in the world around us are codes that hold the key to understanding the universe – mysterious shapes and bizarre numbers pop up in the most unlikely places again and again. Mathematics has the power to decode them, and by doing so it can tap into the power of nature itself. <br /> <br />Recipient of the Michael Faraday Prize for ‚exellence in communicating science‘ and OBE ‚for services to Science‘, Marcus du Sautoy has a gift for making mathematics easy to understand and relevant to anyone. From the power of the square in pyramids to the value of pi in rivers, codes manifest themselves on a truely epic scale.
