From the Preface: "The wide use and excellent reception of the earlier editions of this book and the valuable suggestions from its many users for additions and improvements have resulted in the publisher's requesting a revision and enlargement of the third edition. As in the cases of the earlier editions, this book has been compiled and arranged to meet the needs of students and workers in mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, science, and other fields in which mathematical computations or processes of a mathematical nature are required."

From back cover: "The Babylonians invented it, the Greeks banned it, the Hindus worshiped it, and the Church used it to fend off heretics. For centuries, the power of zero savored of the demonic; once harnessed, it became the most important tool in mathematics."
Quote from front cover: "Written with clarity and infectious enthusiasm that are rare in science writing, and practically unknown among those who dare to explain mathematics. Zero is really something." - The Washington Post
