I suggest Flatland too.
And it you like to read about mathematicians, I suggest Fermat's Enigma. ... one, seemed like a ** book and a **** book blended together. Quite annoyed by the lack of actual mathematics and thought Fermat's Last Theorem was much better overall. Still, many of the biographical parts were nice. Maybe it's just my math background that makes me so annoyed at the ... 32) Fermat's Last Theorem came as a periodic diversion into maths - never one of my stronger subjects but this is more the history of the problem than the technical details of the solution. An unexpected bonus in this was the amount of background into the history of methematics BEFORE Fermat - in ... I've just found your thread - what a great list for January.
I really enjoyed the Code Book and Singh's book on Fermat's Last Theorem was excellent too if you haven't already read it.

48. Coraline ... Thanks to all that recommend the math books; I had my hands on Fermat's Enigma at a book sale last week and put it back down to pick up a 4 volume set on The World of Mathematics. Guess I should have kept Fermat too!
Since school's in session, I'm reading textbooks. Right now I'm digesting T ... #44 Bill Masom - I'm another Simon Singh fan. I really enjoyed both the Code Book and Fermat's Enigma. Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture by Apostolos Doxiadis was a lovely maths read too. Has anyone read Simon Singh's book on alternative medicine Trick or Treat?

... I loved Fermat's Enigma, it's mathematics that go way over my head and still I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to an interested high school-student.

Just finished Catalina's Riddle by Steven Saylor, the fourth I've read in this mystery series about Rome.
