If you don’t like math, read it anyway!
This is a great reference for all of the great mathematical concepts you may or may not have ever heard about or known you have any interest in. And they are all shared in easy to understand snippets laid out in historical context and with a clear explanation of some easily relatable modern applications.If you don’t need a reference book of mathematics, read it anyway. You don’t have to understand the equations or even pay attention to the notations. And the author puts it all in the context of the world we live in. (Mathematics is at the heart of what you are doing right now.)Few people do understand the real place of mathematics in the modern world. It’s behind almost everything we do – computers, navigation, astronomy, etc. But it’s not all-inclusive. Not all mathematical problems have even been solved. Some never will be. And while we think of mathematics as being very precise, it often isn’t. It may simply give us answers that are close enough for the questions we need to be answered.Mathematics is just another facet of science, reason, and philosophy. It’s at the heart of all of the technology that now manages our lives. It seems prudent, therefore, to have at least a superficial understanding of what it is and isn’t, and how it came to be.

Fascinating
The chronological arrangement leads to astonishing insights. Pythagoras did not know 0. Negative numbers existed before zero. “All Spartans are liars,” said the Spartan and laughed himself to death from the paradox he created.

Interesting math for non-math people to ponder
I enjoy various types of learning whether they’re my specialty or not. It’s interesting to see problems weighed by great mathematicians and how most were eventually solved. I doubt there’s much practical use for non STEM types except it never hurts to wade into new areas and learn new things. Well written in a way that non mathematicians can grasp, it’s worth the effort.

Reasoned and Well Written Summary of Mathematical Princiles
This book is a very well reasoned and well written summary of mathematical principles, It is very entertaining as well. I recommend this book.

Misleading Title
The title of this book is misleading. It should be the “The Book of Little Mathematical Principles, Theories & Things”. It is really a history of how mathematics was developed. So many chapters that start to discuss various principles, end by discussing the principle’s author life and nothing about the principle. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but I would have preferred to read a little more deeper into the explanation of the mathematical principle rather that how the person that discovered the math lived.

These do help.
Yes, help add help. Yet with a slippery head. Spend time re-looking items up. So they help, ad, keep me into re-habits in a good way. Boringly but is good for activities, products as they say.

Math is cool
Very interesting little book of math concepts and math history great for those who actually get it and for those trying to work through their math anxiety.

Perfect little reference book.
Definitely recommend for reference. Small and easy to use. I would use this vendor again.

This is a very nice super light reading book, it should be in everybody’s personal library!

very interesting

Awesome! Just enough info to make you understand the concept, just enough Info to make you curious.

I bought this for my son. A number of topics I know well and from those I saw that the description was not useful about what the subject is about. I don’t think you’d learn much about the topics but maybe just enough to spark interest to find info elsewhere.

Se trata de un compendio de pequeñas píldoras de matemáticas y de su historia, suministradas en orden cronológico de forma bastante asequible. Excelente para tener una idea general sobre esta materia sin entrar en profundidades. Es apto para todo el mundo, independientemente del conocimiento previo que se tenga. La versión en inglés está redactada de forma bastante asequible. Sin duda, lo recomiendo.
