This book was a written in a novel style for the readers
to understand the flow of the story and to easily get related to the subject
being discussed, it tried to explain the philosophical idea behind the concept
of “Infinity” by the Indian characters; they are Ravi and his grandfather
Bauji. His grandfather was a mathematician who was trying to discover another
theory from one of the theories in mathematics. Bauji was trying to let Ravi
discover the beauty of mathematical equations and its purposes to the present
application.
The story would somehow connect the principle of Infinity
and the Euclidean Geometry. The enthralling relationship of the two would make
the world think deeply. This issue was being compelled by the characters. This book
was arguing about the Infinity and what does it mean to encounter the limits of
it to the human understanding. The book also discussed the comparison between
theology and mathematical views that introduced some implications to math. It was
also asking about the certainty of it to our lives that revealed the insights
of mathematics.
The value of infinity is condensed to almost certain
because of the combinations of different theories, hypotheses and statements of
those mathematicians. Some people may think if infinity does exist or has a
value, but when we come to think of it, we cannot really have a numerical representation
of infinity because it was very far from the truth or certainty of mathematics.
Finding certainty in mathematics and philosophy took some
years for the mathematicians before they found out some techniques but not all
of them found solutions there were also some hypotheses that were left hanging
because they were not able to come up with solutions and so younger generations
were triggered to continue their legacies.
Mathematicians wanted their offspring to continue
expressing the point of views of their mathematics to creatively achieve the development
of the world using their new ideas. In this book Ravi’s grandfather wanted him
to be involved with mathematics since his grandfather saw something in him that
would connect them to mathematics.
This book does not only wrote about math but also the
implications brought by the faith and religion. I learned a lot from this book
because the topic was explained very well for the readers to understand them. The
different contradictions to this narrative novel were adopted by the
mathematical community and was continued to find the solution for the problem
of Infinity.
