This is a terrific book for everyone from mathematicians to people who just have an interest in the subject. It's a great book to help you discover the beauty and elegance of math and to appreciate all the ways in which it connects to so many parts of our daily lives and the natural world.

Rereading.
I enjoyed it much more than the first time I read it. The writing was beautiful and the way the math was portrayed was stunning.

Fantastic book, self-contained small chapters, covers a huge breadth of the field with very interesting stories.

Despite this being a pop-sci book, it does not lose its mathematical rigor.

Absolutely fabulous and enjoyable. And truly edifying.

For anyone on and off the field, for anyone remotely interested in Mathematics.

I have an advanced degree in STEM, and yet I learned a lot of new things from this book.

Highly recommend.
