I found "Mathematics for the Millions" (http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Million-Master-Magic-Numbers/dp/039331071X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417675239&sr=8-1&keywords=Mathematics+for+the+millions http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Million-Master-Magic-Numbe...) to be a very interesting read. It goes through the history of math, how it was discovered and used, from ancient Egypt (geometry) to the 1600s (Calculus) and shows the progression of thought.
- kingmanaz 12y agoSeconded. "Mathematics for the Million" is an incremental, bottom-up approach to learning Mathematics. It should be an interesting read for those fond of history.
