Mathematics: The Man-Made Universe by Sherman K. Stein | Dover Books on Mathematics | Paperback 2010 Edition | Perfect for Students & Math Enthusiasts | Study Guide & Gift Idea

I worked through this entire book over a two-year period. I learned a lot from it and recommend it highly to anyonewho needs to learn math.The book has an interesting approach, and presents subjects from topology to geometric construction. There is an emphasis on puzzle solving with mathematical thinking: pigeon-holing; parity; strange algebras; and number theory arecovered in a logical but accessible manner. The least dry math text I've ever read!
