I've been looking for good mathematical books to read, semi-popular level books which aren't afraid to use mathematical equations, and which might even double as a good book for a mathematics undergraduate to read as a kind of supplement to standard textbooks. Just some examples of what I have in mind:
Infinity and the Mind by Rudy Rucker (but a little too mystical for my tastes)
Proofs from the Book by Martin Aigner and Günter M. Ziegler (a bit too much for my mediocre mind, but some of it got through)
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter (a classic, but not just about maths)
Gamma: Exploring Euler's Constant by Julian Havil (really enjoyed this one)
