This mathematics book is organized and useful. It departs from the usual pragmatic avenues of math and explores math topics that are only lightly touched on in school. It is a readable and somewhat humorous account that leads readers into a new sense of wonder about the mathematical world that is only a few calculations away. It is appropriate for both high school and college students, and it is an enjoyable read for those who haven’t been to school in decades as well.
