Like negative, irrational and imaginary numbers, \"commotic\" numbers seem like purely mental constructions but turn out to describe the real world. Unlike the others, expressions written with magical or \"commotic\" numbers also directly affect the world, by changing the relationships between things and places. Used ignorantly, mathematical magic leveled cities, brought down fire from the skies and killed millions. But a mathematician trained in magic can bring needed rain, heal wounds, travel instantly between places and use spells to do a hundred other useful things. For eight hundred years, society has been painfully rebuilding, aided by magicians of mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two new, lunatic cults gaining power in the Kingdom, each crazier than the other. They worship the \"Unborn Gods,\" one repressed and puritanical, the others Dionysian and drunk. They threaten the Kingdom, and more importantly, they threaten the very concept of rationality. Hondoll, the King's Magician, is charged with standing against them. He has a few allies and many enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill reason and courage be stronger than craziness?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Ott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737496704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737496700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Ott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.48d","brand":"Charles Ott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993170706687,"sku":"9781737496700","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76517d6b-9cf1-4f5f-acfe-cfea400a6e88.jpg?v=1683322899","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-weapon-of-mathematics-charles-ott-9781737496700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
