General Math "Light" Reading
Was wondering if anybody would like to recommend or just discuss any general books you may know about concerning math in general, be it historical, biographical or some of the other general works that are out there.
I'm curious about what I keep seeing in the bookstores. For example, the numbers https://www.amazon.com/dp/0140296476/?tag=pfamazon01-20, each have at least one book written about them, some have two. Has anybody checked these out and can recommend?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691095418/?tag=pfamazon01-20 books.
I took a look at https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691145997/?tag=pfamazon01-20 but it seems more of a musing on some things that seemed somewhat obvious to me, at least according to experience, though I realize such things aren't obvious to everyone. Still I wonder if it's worth a second look.
Anyway, that's what I've come across.
