IIRC there are a few things that are simple enough to actually explain in a page, but yes, one page per...artifact? Very little real mathematics, you will just understand things about them. It is, however, the best written of these pop-math type books that I've come across. If you are comfortable with undergraduate-level mathematics, the Princeton Guide is a much better book for getting an idea about a specific topic. Pickover's book is more for getting a feel for what topics are out there. They were written for two very different audiences and I like them both for different reasons.
