Bevor es Zahlen gab, hatten es die Menschen schwer. Wie sollte man beim Handel mit Naturalien beispielsweise wissen, wie viele Äpfel man erhalten hatte? Oder wie konnte ein Häuptling ohne zu zählen feststellen, wie viele seiner Krieger im Kampf gefallen waren? Zahlen konstituieren unser Universum. Und doch sind sie keine Gegebenheit. Erst im Laufe der Jahrtausende wurden sie entwickelt. Welche Zahlen gibt es überhaupt? Wer hat sie wann entdeckt? Wie lässt sich mit Zahlen rechnen und inwiefern erschließen sie unsere Welt? Welche Mythen und welcher Aberglauben verbinden sich mit Zahlen? Warum wurde etwa in frühchristlichen Kulturen die Zahl „2“ mit dem Teufel assoziiert? Und inwiefern verdanken wir die Geometrie den Überschwemmungen am Nil? Peter Bentley hat auf alle Fragen die passende Antwort parat. Stets gegenwartsbezogen und mit spannenden Beispielen gelingt es ihm, selbst Mathemuffel für die Welt der Zahlen zu begeistern.
