"The Secrets of Creation trilogy is one of the most remarkable works of maths popularisation that I have read. Matthew Watkins has a gift for exposition, a gushing passion for his subject and a completely fresh way of approaching basic — and not so basic — mathematical ideas. He has written a brilliantly original work that is both whimsical and cosmically profound. I would recommend it to anyone."
Alex Bellos, author of Alex's Adventures in Numberland
"It is exactly the kind of thing that I would have enjoyed tremendously and found extremely illuminating in my younger days — in fact, I think this is still the case."
Sir Roger Penrose, Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, Oxford University
"The author is at pains to make his exposition readily accessible to any intelligent reader...This is an unusual and fascinating book, which even experts on prime number theory are likely to find of interest."
Brian Josephson, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Times Higher Education
"This is a fantastic book. A fabulous book. A splendiferous book! I, a PhD student who has studied math my whole life, could not put it down. Not only was I not bored, I learned new things! A book like this, accessible to young children and engaging to adults, is a rare and wonderful accomplishment indeed!"
Brent Yorgey, The Math Less Traveled blog
