| Summary, etc | Looks at the history of each digit from one through nine, detailing their applications and connections to various areas of mathematics. The numbers one through nine have remarkable mathematical properties and characteristics. For instance, why do eight perfect card shuffles leave a standard deck of cards unchanged? Are there really "six degrees of separation" between all pairs of people? And how can any map need only four colors to ensure that no regions of the same color touch?
