Episode 2: Numbers: the Shock of the Irrational
Tuesday 26th November at 7.30pm
This is the second in a series of short talks at the Tree House Bookshop presented by Steve Russ and Leon John. Come early to be sure of a seat! Numbers are everywhere, but where are they? And what kinds are there? This will be a short tour of the number ‘zoo’ – with a focus on the irrationals – mainly things they do not tell you at school, why? – they are just so very remarkable …
