For me it is. For example, I read "Fermat´s last theorem". The great thing is that the author tells in a vivid way, how different mathematicians attacked different parts of the theorem, starting with Fermat, up to the present . He also explains how the tools developed along the time found real world applications. I can not say that I understand the concepts explained at the book, but now I feel that I could even start learning Number theory (well maybe this is a stretch, but you get the idea) On a side note please for give my parent comment. I was writing from the Iphone seated at a plane, so I had to hurry and didn't have time for corrections.
