The Infinite in the Finite
Alistair Macintosh Wilson
Combining historical fact with a retelling of ancient myths and legends, the author shows how mathematics arose out of the problems of everyday life. He introduces concepts such as geometry, prime numbers, and trigonometry in a way that will totally disarm the reader who fears mathematics and sets them firmly in their historical context.
