This is an amazing little book that gives you a glimpse of practically every feature of math and is fantastically written and very entertaining. * Indra’s Pearls by Mumford - idea was to explain a piece of completely grown-up, cutting-edge mathematics but assuming you didn’t touch mathematics after school. There’s no book like it — beautifully written, beautifully illustrated, beautifully made. * Measurement by Lockhart - If you’re struggling with the school curriculum essentially covers all of school mathematics (including calculus) after arithmetic * Mathematics: Its Content, Methods, and Meaning - Once you get interested in the university curriculum. it covers an entire undergraduate mathematics degree — yet, lucid — for many topics, it has the clearest explanations I’ve seen. Misc: In increasing order of difficulty: * The Enjoyment of Mathematics by Rademacher & Toeplitz * What is Mathematics? by Courant & Robbins * Geometry and the Imagination by Hilbert & Cohn-Vossen * How to Solve It by Pólya * The Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century by Klein Three other books I’d like to point out at the beginner’s level are * Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes by Taimina, if you crochet * From Calculus to Chaos by Acheson * if you like physics, and Polyhedra by Cromwell * Finally, if you become interested in the cutting edge, browse the enormous Princeton Companion to Mathematics. ==Science== * The Structures of Scientific Revolutions (there' s also a 50 years later version) ==Finance== * The Millionaire Next Door * The richest man in babylon
