I Really Want To Get Into Math. What Book Do You Recommend Reading!

I really want to get into math. What book do you recommend reading!

Great question! Here are some fun ones that are still informative and that really opened up my eyes to what math truly is:

How to Solve It  by George Polya. This is a classic and the title speaks for itself: it is about how to reason mathematically.

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. This one is mathy and sciencey. It is very geometrical and shows how our view of geometry has changed throughout history and how it has influenced science. Kaku is my favorite author.

Proof and Refutations by Imre Lakatos. Another classic. This one has to do with how mathematical proof advances our mathematical knowledge, in other words what professional mathematicians do. It is also surprisingly funny.

Beautiful proofs (#4) - When Gauss was a young child...

The legend goes something like this:

Gauss’s teacher wanted to occupy his students by making them add large sets of numbers and told everyone in class to find the sum of 1+2+3+ …. + 100.

And Gauss, who was a young child (age ~ 10) quickly found the sum by just pairing up numbers:

Beautiful Proofs (#4) - When Gauss Was A Young Child...

Using this ingenious method used by Gauss allows us to write a generic formula for the sum of first n positive integers as follows:
