A fragment from the Preface of A Passion for Mathematics: "Readers of my popular mathematics books already know how I feel about numbers. Numbers are portals to other universes. Numbers help us glimpse a greater universe normally shielded from our small brains that have not evolved to comprehend fully the mathematical fabric of the universe. Higher mathematical discussions are a little like poetry. Danish physicist Niels Bohr felt similarly about physics when he said, "We must be clear that, when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry.'" "When I think about the vast oasis of numbers that humans have skimmed from the shoreless sea of reality, I get a little shiver. I hope you'll shiver too as you glimpse numbers ranging from integers, fractions, and radicals to stranger beasts like the transcendental numbers, transfinite numbers, hyperreal numbers, surreal numbers, the "nimbers," the quaternions, biquaternions, sedenions, and octonions. Of course, we have a hard time thinking of such queer entities, but from time to time, God places in our midst visionaries who function like the Biblical prophets who touched a universe inches away that most of us can barely perceive."
