How many numbers are there? And is infinity + 1 is the same as 1 + infinity? Such questions occur to young children and our greatest minds. And they are all the same question: What is infinity? In \u003ci\u003eBeyond Infinity\u003c\/i\u003e, Eugenia Cheng takes us on a staggering journey from elemental math to its loftiest abstractions.
