To open a newspaper or turn on the television it would appear that science and religion are polar opposites - mutually exclusive bedfellows competing for hearts and minds. There is little indication of the rich interaction between religion and science throughout history, much of which continues today. From ancient to modern times, mathematicians have played a key role in this interaction. This is a book on the relationship between mathematics and religious beliefs. It aims to show that, throughout scientific history, mathematics has been used to make sense of the 'big' questions of life, and theism is rich in both culture and character. Chapters cover a fascinating range of topics including the Sect of the Pythagoreans, Newton's views on the Apocalypse, Charles Dodgson's Anglican faith and Godel's proof of the existence of God.--

Bestselling author and astrophysicist Mario Livio examines the lives and theories of history’s greatest mathematicians to ask how—if mathematics is an abstract construction of the human mind—it can so perfectly explain the physical world. Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about “the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that—mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true. Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered? If, as Einstein insisted, mathematics is “a product of human thought that is independent of experience,” how can it so accurately describe and even predict the world around us? Physicist and author Mario Livio brilliantly explores mathematical ideas from Pythagoras to the present day as he shows us how intriguing questions and ingenious answers have led to ever deeper insights into our world. This fascinating book will interest anyone curious about the human mind, the scientific world, and the relationship between them.

Uncertainty is everywhere. It lurks in every consideration of the future - the weather, the economy, the sex of an unborn child - even quantities we think that we know such as populations or the transit of the planets contain the possibility of error. It's no wonder that, throughout that history, we have attempted to produce rigidly defined areas of uncertainty - we prefer the surprise party to the surprise asteroid. We began our quest to make certain an uncertain world by reading omens in livers, tea leaves, and the stars. However, over the centuries, driven by curiosity, competition, and a desire be better gamblers, pioneering mathematicians and scientists began to reduce wild uncertainties to tame distributions of probability and statistical inferences. But, even as unknown unknowns became known unknowns, our pessimism made us believe that some problems were unsolvable and our intuition misled us. Worse, as we realized how omnipresent and varied uncertainty is, we encountered chaos, quantum mechanics, and the limitations of our predictive power. Bestselling author Professor Ian Stewart explores the history and mathematics of uncertainty. Touching on gambling, probability, statistics, financial and weather forecasts, censuses, medical studies, chaos, quantum physics, and climate, he makes one thing clear: a reasonable probability is the only certainty.

The war between evil and good is a history that is repeating itself over and over again. It is a never ending cycle that will only break at doom's day with apparently the marginal victory of good. I would say it a marginal victory as the Satan or Lucifer with all of its demons and followers will be bounded to hell. Satan will feel happy as it has captured a lot of God' people in his trap. On the other hand, those doomed people were never actually the God's people. Yes, they were the creation of God but like Satan they have followed the path of disobedience. They have to give a full account of their sins to the accountants of God and then they have to pay for them as well. Doomsday will actually be the day of pure mathematics. It will not only include basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division but also include some sort of algebraic equations in it as well. After doomsday, all the rules of mathematics will no longer be applicable as everything will reach to its infinite and perfect state. In other words, this day would be the ultimate day of God's mathematics. God will no longer need any mathematical stage shows as humans will no longer be interested in them. Mathematicians will go to heaven not due to their own absurd mathematics but due to results obtained from the God's mathematics. God is then the real mathemagician and God's math is the real math. However, the God's math shows itself in humans and thus we can understand a bit of it as well. God has used us as the variables in his algebraic equations; actually all of his creations are his variables to be used in his mathematics. Having established God's mathematics, we can understand that what is happening all around us is just his math. Our past was 0-, present is 0 and future will be 0+. It looks ambiguous but you have to think out of your box to understand that, well the thing is that we always think that we have understood the math of God. It is not the case here, we think that we are doing our own math but in fact we are being used in God's math. “God's Math” will also tell you the story of a self proclaimed mathemagician Isaac Sheppard. He is trying to solve the God's math and instead will be used by God as a + in his math to neutralize the – energies of this world. When the Prof. Isaac Sheppard, the so called mathemagician, delivered his controversial lecture in MIT about “God's Math”, a mystery began to unravel. Series of brutal murders with mathematical riddles all over the crime scene, the comeback of Christ or Anti Christ and secrets of almost all religions were the few that unravel in this volume.Prof. Isaac Sheppard is the main character of this mystery thriller, who is not only a controversial mathematician but also an avid cryptologist. He is not a man of God but he is in fight with the men of God. He is not only facing the powerful secret society but also her wife Inspector Angelina Foster, who hates him due to his controversial lectures and atheism. After being separated for many years, they have been teamed up against the self proclaimed 'Christ'. Is he or she really a Christ? Isaac has not only this question to answer but also a number of mathematical riddles, religious anomalies and questions about his current relationship with Angelina. Will Isaac save the world's beliefs or will he start believing again? Will the bloody ritual of Anti-Christ stop? Will there be an end or a start of an end? Will mathematics of men comprehend the God's mathematics? Will the science dominate the religion? Read it and hopefully you will get the answers of above. Dare to ask some questions from yourself, which you don't want to answer

Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Do numbers truly exist? What sort of reality do formulas describe? The complexity of mathematics - its abstract rules and obscure symbols - can seem very distant from the everyday. There are those things that are real and present, it is supposed, and then there are mathematical concepts: creations of our mind, mysterious tools for those unengaged with the world. Yet, from its most remote history and deepest purpose, mathematics has served not just as a way to understand and order, but also as a foundation for the reality it describes. In this elegant book, mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini offers a brief cultural and intellectual history of mathematics, ranging widely from the paradoxes of ancient Greece to the sacred altars of India, from Mesopotamian calculus to our own contemporary obsession with algorithms. Masterful and illuminating, The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men transforms our understanding of mathematical thinking, showing that it is inextricably linked with the philosophical and the religious as well as the mundane - and, indeed, with our own very human experience of the universe.

Mathematics and the Divine seem to correspond to diametrically opposed tendencies of the human mind. Does the mathematician not seek what is precisely defined, and do the objects intended by the mystic and the theologian not lie beyond definition? Is mathematics not Man's search for a measure, and isn’t the Divine that which is immeasurable ? The present book shows that the domains of mathematics and the Divine, which may seem so radically separated, have throughout history and across cultures, proved to be intimately related. Religious activities such as the building of temples, the telling of ritual stories or the drawing of enigmatic figures all display distinct mathematical features. Major philosophical systems dealing with the Absolute and theological speculations focussing on our knowledge of the Ultimate have been based on or inspired by mathematics. A series of chapters by an international team of experts highlighting key figures, schools and trains of thought is presented here. Chinese number mysticism, the views of Pythagoras and Plato and their followers, Nicholas of Cusa's theological geometry, Spinozism and intuitionism as a philosophy of mathematics are treated side by side among many other themes in an attempt at creating a global view on the relation of mathematics and Man’s quest for the Absolute in the course of history. · Mathematics and man's quest for the Absolute · A selective history highlighting key figures, schools and trains of thought · An international team of historians presenting specific new findings as well as general overviews · Confronting and uniting otherwise compartmentalized information

“A marvelously entertaining, historical romp through the unexpected connections between mathematics and mysticism” (Paul Hoffman, Discover). From the mysterious cult of Pythagoras to the awesome mechanics of Stonehenge to digitally generated “gargoyles” and fractals, mathematics has always been a powerful, even divine force in the world. In a lively, intelligent synthesis of math, mysticism, and science fiction, Clifford Pickover explains the eternal magic of numbers. Taking a uniquely humorous approach, he appoints readers “Chief Historian” of an intergalactic museum and sends them, along with a quirky cast of characters, hurtling through the ages to explore how individuals used numbers for such purposes as predicting the end of the world, finding love, and winning wars.

What is the "answer to everything"? Pythagoras provided a glimpse of the answer 2,500 years ago when he declared, "All things are numbers". Mathematics is literally everything. Unlike science, mathematics offers certainty and absolute knowledge. Mathematics unifies science, religion and metaphysics and is the true Grand Unified Theory of Everything. No experiment can ever contradict a mathematical truth. Mathematics is the ONLY answer to everything. Mathematics is the ONLY subject inherently about eternal, Platonic truth. The God Series, starting with The God Game, reveals the astonishing power of ontological mathematics to account for everything. Isn't it time to convert to to the world's only rational religion - Illuminism, the Pythagorean religion of mathematics that infallibly explains all things and guarantees everyone a soul that's not only eternal and indestructible but also has the capacity to make each of us a true God? Isn't it time to become Illuminated? The God Series is what God ought to have delivered to humanity rather than the Bible. Knowledge rather than faith. Truth rather than fantasy.
