    About this ebook

    'Contemplating Infinity' gives a glimpse into the nature/character of God that is reflected in our mathematics.’

    This nature is the same as that seen in the Scriptures. For example, the book shows that mathematics is logical (requiring a logical beginning).

    Mathematics has infinity as a character, a dual nature (one part is easily envisaged, the other is not). It has majesty (which commands obedience to principles), and it offers the joy of enquiry to those willing to follow these principles.

    The book also gives an apologetic for special creation based on probability, and evidence from the natural world.

    'Contemplating Infinity' also delves into special numbers of interest, such as pi and the speed of light, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio and Fractals. It explains why we can see stars that are millions of light-years away (a problem for many sceptics).

    The book is replete with mathematical examples, which those at senior high school level can easily do.

    At the end of each section, there are Review Questions (with many maths questions) to re-enforce learning for the student or enquiring adult.

    Answers to these appear at the back, along with a Glossary of all the major terms.
