His book \u003ci\u003eLiberabbaci \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eThe book of Calculation\u003c\/i\u003e) remade the West as the dominant force in science, technology, and large-scale international commerce. Leonardo of Pisa is best known today for discovering the Fibonacci sequence of numbers appearing in biological structures throughout nature, but despite the ubiquity of his discoveries, he has largely slipped from the pages of history. Keith Devlin re-creates the life and enduring legacy of this brilliant yet overlooked mathematician.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"Man of Numbers: Fibonacci's Arithmetic Revolution | Keith Devlin | Paperback | 9780802779083 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1740645","offer_id":48168870641816,"sku":"1740645","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71dKX0xjidL.jpg?v=1771980607","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/man-of-numbers-fibonaccis-arithmetic-revolution","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
