Visions of Numberland unlocks the world’s greatest mathematical mysteries, with 60 patterns to colour in and 10 more that you can create from scratch. The friendly explanations next to each pattern unlock the secrets of an intellectual quest that has been underway for three thousand years – but no maths knowledge is required. Anyone can be an artist in Numberland!
