Alex Bellos joined Google host Peter Barron in our London office for an Authors-at Google Talk on 28th May, 2014. Alex is the author of Alex Through The Looking Glass: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life. In the US the book has the title The Grapes of Math.
In this talk he spoke about two chapters from the book, one about emotional and psychological responses to numbers, and the other about cellular automata and the Game of Life.
