The Grapes of Math: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life by Alex Bellos
4.0
As a math teacher, I really loved this book and recommend it to anyone else with a love of math and numbers. The author does a great job of balancing a narrative of the history of mathematics/mathematicians with the actual math and proofs behind it all.
I definitely had to dust off a few concepts I hadn't thought about since high school, but I now have a better understanding of their importance and role in our lives.
If you don't like math, this probably isn't the book for you. But you could probably tell that from the title.
