by Timothy Gowers. How is the book? I'm thinking of purchasing it for my undergrad math career, can anyone recommend it?

Mathematics news on Phys.org
So I went ahead and got it (without a response from PF!). Luckily, the book is amazing in depth and accessibility. It is hefty, a full 1000 pages and costs $99 (but I got it for $50 through a border's deal). I can see this becoming useful in explaining some of the conceptual stuff in future math courses.
 
I hope you like it! I've been thinking about it as well.
