Description
Selected by Apple as Best of 2014, and winner of the 2015 Digital Book Award for Best Nonfiction App.
Bestselling author Professor Ian Stewart is your guide through Incredible Numbers. Numbers define the patterns of sunflowers; they bring pleasure through music; and they help us answer existential questions like; ‘How many ways are there to lace my shoes?’ Interactive examples – from simple equations to a working Enigma machine – put the beautiful concepts behind mathematics at your fingertips.
“A measure of Ian Stewart’s success is that he’s able to give a clear path through some very hairy mathematics.” – Times Higher Education Supplement
There’s so much more than a few screenshots can show:
– 23 articles crafted by Prof. Ian Stewart, embedded with 71 groundbreaking interactive demonstrations.
– 23 bespoke interactive sections that let you immerse yourself in the beautiful patterns and concepts behind each topic.
– 15 of Ian Stewart’s famous mathematical puzzles.
Topics include:
• Infinity – Explore infinity and understand what it really means to say something is infinite.
• Pi – Unwrap the mysteries of pi to see why this strange number is so important and why it’s not just about circles.
• Music – Music and math share the beauty of finding patterns in complexity. Detailed interactives show you how they relate in real, meaningful and fun ways.
• Codes – See how the power of numbers can unlock complexity in codes.
• Nature – See how numbers work in nature by looking at the Fibonacci sequence and how it appears in the real world in beautiful and surprising ways.
• Primes – Discover the mysterious patterns in prime numbers, and why they are so important.
• Polygons – Get to grips with shapes and polygons. Classical geometry is just another way to think about numbers!
• Factorials – How many ways can you lace your shoes? Did you know that if you have 4 eyelets, there are 24 possible lacing styles? With 12 eyelets there are 479,001,600 possibilities. See why this is so in Factorials!
Incredible Numbers aspires to convince you that maths is beautiful. Mathematicians know this already. The great solutions and proofs shine to them, but their underlying beauty has been hidden behind abstract algebra and complex equations. Until now.
If you enjoy this app, don’t forget to rate it in the App Store.

High quality content-- a rare gem of an app
This is really good quality content. Most "maths" apps are just formulas or calculators or random computational exercises. This one actually gives a lot of motivation and intuition behind important mathematical ideas. A great companion to the book of the same title. If you're looking for a maths textbook with exercises and tutorials on solving equations, this isn't the app for you. If want to read about and explore mathematical ideas like infinity and primes, this is the app for you. It's got a handful of puzzles and mathematician biographies as well. The interactive aspects of it are informative and aesthetically pleasing, especially the geometric constructions. I wish there were more apps like this. This is my favourite app from Touchpress.
Pretty Amazing.
My 10 Year Old Son is really into Math at School. Go Figure. Myself? At Age 52, this program has taught me that what I do Not know about Numbers is vast...but this software is actually entertaining, he can't put it down and even I am amazed by it. When my Son let's me check it out of course...
Hmmm
As usual good looking app from touch press. But very low on content.
Nice try but not enough material
This is a very greedy application. The price is too high and the amount of material is too low. But it is stylish. Also audio explanations would be much better then plain text.
Whiners
Stop whining. My seven year old loves this app. If you like math you'll like this. Don't expect it to turn you into a math whiz if you already dislike math.
I Should Have Listened
I should have listened to the other reviews and not bought this. I thought I could use it to teach my 16 year old some math because I am by no means a mathematician. I hated math growing up and this app just made me hate it even more.
Great
For the math majors: Nice interactive features you will enjoy even if you already know the content; But even if you think you might, you'll most likely be reminded of a thing or two you missed or forgot! Great math app. Would love to see more like this.
Not for the kids
I bought this thinking it would help explain/make math fun for my older children. No. This is definitely for adults that like to play with math. I am one of those, fortunately, so the app isn't a total waste of money. I am sorely disappointed that my older children can't make good use of it though. There don't seem to be any apps out there for them!
Wonderful App
Amazing app and one of the best examples of modern app design that I have seen. A new way to look at and learn math concepts.
