<DIV><p>&ldquo;Another excellent book for the lay reader of mathematics . . . In explaining [infinity], the author introduces the reader to a good many other mathematical terms and concepts that seem unintelligible in a formal text but are much less formidable when presented in the author&rsquo;s individual and very readable style.&rdquo;&mdash;<I>Library Journal</I></p> <p>&ldquo;The interpolations tying mathematics into human life and thought are brilliantly clear.&rdquo;&mdash;<I>Booklist</I></p> <p>&ldquo;Mrs. Lieber, in this text illustrated by her husband, Hugh Gray Lieber, has tackled the formidable task of explaining infinity in simple terms, in short line, short sentence technique popularized by her in <I>The Education of T.C. MITS</I>.&rdquo;&mdash;<I>Chicago Sunday Tribune</I></p> <p> <I>Infinity</I>, another delightful mathematics book from the creators of <I>The Education of T.C. MITS</I>, offers an entertaining, yet thorough, explanation of the concept of, yes, infinity. Accessible to non-mathematicians, this book also cleverly connects mathematical reasoning to larger issues in society. The new foreword by Harvard mathematics professor Barry Mazur is a tribute to the Liebers&rsquo; influence on generations of mathematicians.</p> <p> <b>Lillian Lieber</b> was a professor and head of the Department of Mathematics at Long Island University. She wrote a series of light-hearted (and well-respected) math books, many of them illustrated by her husband.</p> <p> <b>Barry Mazur</b> is the Gerhard Gade University Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University and is the author of <I>Imagining Numbers</I>.</p></DIV>
