Is Math Real?: How Simple Questions Lead Us to Mathematics' Deepest Truths by Eugenia Cheng

adventurous fast-paced

5.0

I usually avoid recommending books until I finish them, but I found myself making an exception for this book! I think people who were intimidated out of math for asking "stupid" questions will get a lot out of this book. I also think parents trying to help their kids learn "new" math might find it a useful way to limber up their brains to understand math in a different way.
I do think some readers might find the proofs a bit meandering, which is less of a criticism and more of a thing to keep in mind that each explanation does come back together in the end!
