A review by profejennifer
Professor Stewart's Incredible Numbers by Ian Stewart

4.0

I docked it a star because I wasn't quite sure who his intended audience is - the math is rather technical and complex to be accessible to a non-specialist, even one who enjoys math and isn't scared of numbers, yet I'm not sure a mathematician would need a book like this, as I suspect most of the information is covered somewhere along the way in a math degree. Still, it did give a sense of the wide range of questions mathematicians play with, and I found myself wanting to read on even when I didn't quite follow the technical explanations.
