Fifteen years ago, if publishers were sure of anything, it was that (1) calculus is not funny, and (1+1) no one wants to go to lie in bed clutching a book about the concept and history of integral and differential operators.

Then along came the always audacious David Berlinski (his bio described him as “having a tendency to lose academic positions with what he himself describes as an embarrassing urgency”). A mathematician who is by trade a purveyor of proofs, Berlinski wrote A Tour of the Calculus, proving the skeptics wrong on both counts. With One, Two, Three: Absolutely Elementary Mathematics, Berlinski has now applied his vast knowledge, wit, and inimitable trademark writing style to tackle another subject about as sexy as American cheese: arithmetic. But don’t worry, you won’t find any multiplication tables here--this is a book about what it means to multiply (and add, subtract, and divide). Berlinski challenges us to see these as deeper issues, a level of mathematical thinking that most people never consider, but which forms the very logical foundation upon which rest ideas as vital as one plus one equals two.
