This series involves an innovative visual approach to explaining concepts from higher mathematics which completely avoids conventional mathematical notation, formulae and equations.

The Mystery of the Prime Numbers uses an innovative visual approach to communicate some surprisingly advanced mathematical ideas without any need for formulas or equations. The issue of prime numbers acts as a gateway into some truly strange philosophical territory whose relevance extends well beyond mathematics.
The Enigma of the Spiral Waves delves further into the workings of the number system with an inventive, equation-free approach to communicating advanced mathematical ideas, including the notorious Riemann Hypothesis, widely recognised as the Holy Grail of mathematics.
Prime Numbers, Quantum Physics and a Journey to the Centre of Your Mind addresses profound questions about the number system through an accessible tour of some key ideas from both quantum mechanics and chaos theory. Having read this, you will never be able to look at the number system (or reality in general) in quite the same way again.
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
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. Prof. Brian Josephson, Times Higher Education
Matthew Watkins was born in London in 1970. He trained to be a research mathematician, completing his PhD in 1994, but then left academia to travel and pursue other interests. He has stayed on the periphery of academic mathematics, having been an honorary research fellow at Exeter University since 2000.
