Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics: unsolved number theory problems are a huge fascination for many mathematicians and hobbyists. It’s a fun field full of challenges and discoveries just waiting to spring forth. ‘Prime Obsession’ focuses on the Riemann’s Hypothesis, the most important unsolved problem in Mathematics. A reviewer on Amazon does an excellent job at describing the beauty of this book, quoting him: “Prime Obsession is a delight: a book about a hypothesis on the distribution of prime numbers that reads like a gripping mystery. Most fiction isn’t this vivid, moving, and well written, and this is no fiction. It is history, biography, philosophy, and, yes, mathematics brought to life with wit and wonder. You have to read this extraordinary book. This is the story of the Reimann Hypothesis, the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics today.“.

What it is its impact on mathematics and what are its cultural implications that it holds? These questions are clearly answered in this book which provides a beautiful exposition that is accessible to anyone. Read this book and chances are you’ll feel a sense of enlightenment as you soak up the words of this amazing writer. I would particularly recommend it as a gift for teenagers in high school, as a way of getting them interested in mathematics. This book will provide them with an essay on the reasons behind the study of Calculus and the practical implications within the areas of Art and Astronomy as well.

Mathematics for the Nonmathematician: history and methodologies of mathematics are well covered in this very inexpensive title. It combines two aspects which are difficult to match: it’s a page-turner like many math popular titles, while being instructional as well as an effective introductory text to basic mathematics for students and amateur mathematicians alike .

    Dr. Euler’s Fabulous Formula: Cures Many Mathematical Ills: the author, Nahin, follows up his first book above with this gem – with a somewhat ridiculous title – about the most beautiful equation in the history of mathematics: displaystyle e^{ipi} + 1 = 0. It’s a delightful read, but beware that the author cuts to the chase in this one, and expects from the reader a solid understanding of complex numbers, as he exposes the application in various fields and covers advanced topics such as Fourier Series and Integrals (dedicating a chapter to each of them). Therefore I would consider the book “An Imaginary Tale” above, a prerequisite before approaching this book.

An Imaginary Tale: The Story of “i” [the square root of minus one]: complex numbers are what puzzle many non-mathematicians the most. It’s intuitively easy to explain Rational and Real numbers to the layman, but complex numbers are often seen as something mysterious. In this book, Nahin goes the extra mile in his attempt to provide historical details as well as insight into the motivation behind complex analysis, offering a serious introduction to the topic that will also serve many mathematically inclined high schoolers and freshmen well.

The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: an original biography of the genius Paul Erdős, who was arguably the most prolific mathematician of the last century , renowned for being just as much of an eccentric as a math whiz. This book won its author a 1999 Aventis Prize for Science Books and you can watch a lecture that the author, Paul Hoffman, gave about the subject. As you can expect for such a unique mathematician, this book is filled with anecdotes and fascinating facts. If you are like me, you’ll buy a copy for yourself and will end up buying copies for your friends as a means of providing them with a light and interesting reading.
