 The Math Book by DK (2019, ISBN 978-1-4654-8024-8)

This book provides an overview of Mathematics. The coverage is historical, it basically describes mathematics in terms of its history. The first entry is Positional Numbers (how numbers are represented, with a discussion of Babylonians and Cuneiform numbers, etc.) The last entry is about the Poincare Conjecture.

If you know nothing about mathematics, then this book provides a good overview. Even if you know a lot about mathematics, you might enjoy the brief historical sketches.

Purchased from Amazon on 2020-11-28 for 19.29$
