當數學裡沒有數字，會發生什麼事？——沒有練習題，沒有標準答案，剩下的是發現、探索、推論，以及解謎的樂趣！ 這本書除了頁碼之外，完全沒有數字，同時還有100多幅由紐約當地藝術家M手繪的插圖。作者利用文字和圖像來傳達重要的數學概念的感覺，並省去了公式和計算。雖然沒有數字，但這本書對於數學是什麼？數學涵蓋哪些部分？最有趣的地方在哪裡？這些探索是絕不打折，而且能讓您對於數學，有更廣闊的了解。例如，有什麼東西比「無限大」更大嗎？世界上總共有多少種形狀？現實生活中什麼時候會用得上這些？這些問題其實都有答案，但答案都不是數字。從本書一開始，作者帶領我們進入一個奇妙的「現實平面」。在這個平面上，正方形是圓形、賽局是樹，自然世界則是電腦模擬。對於學過九九乘法之後就不再關注數學的人而言，數學真的是抽象怪異到了極點！但是，數學為什麼還那麼有用呢？這本書寫來生動活潑，而且極富原創性，它帶領我們認識抽象數學的三大分支：拓樸學、分析和代數，把這三個領域解釋得很清晰而有趣。作者說，其實關鍵就是掌握模式。這本書一反傳統的教學方式，邀請讀者運用創意，來思考空間和維度、無限大和無限小、對稱、證明、結構，以及這些概念如何結合在一起，最後，將這些概念應用在日常生活中！歡迎來到人類知識的最前沿，體驗數學的美麗與奧祕。 專業推薦李政憲，新北市林口國中老師洪萬生，臺灣數學史教育學會理事長游森棚，臺灣師範大學數學系教授 我要大力推薦這本書！有鑑於拓樸學、量子力學以及相對論極有可能成為本世紀下半葉的公民基礎素養，我尤其希望有語文閱讀自信的讀者，一定要特別注意這一類數學普及書籍的問世，因為這攸關公民科學素養的必要選項。——洪萬生，臺灣數學史教育學會理事長 這是一本非常特別的數學科普書！我欣見這本書的出版，也佩服作者的宏觀與有趣的文筆，把數學某些本質層面藉由適當的選材呈現出來。本書的視野和高度在數學科普書中是非常少見的，足以讓讀者對數學有完全不同的認識與體悟。——游森棚，臺灣師範大學數學系教授 什麼？學數學可以不用數字？！作者深入淺出，以圖文介紹了許多看似難懂的數學名詞，以及這些概念與生活、遊戲與哲學等面向的連結，若你覺得不知道數學有何用處，或是有興趣想研究更多數學面向，這本書值得一讀。——李政憲，新北市林口國中老師、藝數摺學FB社團創辦人、教育部師鐸獎得主
