Any Recommendations for a Comprehensive Math Anthology with No Errors?

[Montrealist]

Hello everyone.

I am looking for a technical book covering the great breakthroughs of mathematics that would also be a good introduction to a variety of fields. The perfect book seems to be 'God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History' by Stephen Hawking, but by reading the reviews on amazon it seems that book is full of typos and errors in the formulas. Are there any similar books that you could recommend?

I am presently a first year engineering physics student and would like to be introduced to mathematical fields not covered in my program.

Thank you

Have you tried "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics"?
