I second the book as well as the above praise for the book as one of the greatest. I have read several chapters from the book and have loved them all. Question: I haven't read The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. How would you compare these two?

The Princeton Companion is more like encyclopedia. Main part of the book is articles describing 100 or so mathematical concepts in alphabetical orders. Then it has articles describing major mathematical problems.
