“Ai and Ky in the Land of Invisible Numbers” can be considered a history of mathematics, from the birth of the first irrational number to the appearance of coordinate methods and infinitesimal analysis. But first of all, the book is a beautiful fairy tale, with golden sunshine on the sand, with the clear atmosphere of intelligence and humanity, with paradoxes and conspiracies. We suddenly realize that the world of numbers is as magical, mysterious and romantic as life.
There have been many comments on this work by Professor Ngo Bao Chau and it will be discussed in the discussion. Participating in the discussion are Professor Ngo Bao Chau, co-author Nguyen Phuong Van, artist Thai My Phuong (who did the artwork for the book) and poet Phan Dan.
The discussion was conducted in both Vietnamese and French and is open to the public./.
