Description
Number 9 tells the story of Enjil, a boy mathematician who is
challenged by a spirit to solve the riddle, What is the fixed
point of the wind? As Enjil searches for the answer, he and the
reader embark on a journey through myth, legend, and
religion. Enjil s adventures lead readers to an appreciation of
symmetry within asymmetry, classical ideas, and modern
impulses. Along the way Balmond redefines arithmetic for the
lay person and opens the gateway to further discoveries.
