From the author of Million Dollar Maths comes a fascinating and engaging look at the mathematics that lies behind our modern world.

Could we ever have a supercomputer the size of a pinhead?

In this thrilling numerical journey, Hugh Barker explores how mathematics has helped to build the technology of today, and the fascinating ways it is shaping the future.
