The best book on math for you depends on your current level of math knowledge and interests. Here are some recommendations to get you started:

For Beginners:

·        Alex's Adventures in Numberland: Dispatches from the Wonderful World of Mathematics by Alex Bellos is a great introduction to the world of mathematics, covering everything from basic arithmetic to more complex topics like infinity and chaos theory. Bellos writes in a clear and engaging style, making math fun and accessible for everyone

The Joy of X: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity by Steven Strogatz is another excellent book for beginners. Strogatz takes readers on a journey through the history of mathematics, exploring the fundamental concepts that underlie all of math.

 

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott is a classic novel that explores the concept of dimensionality. The story takes place in Flatland, a two-dimensional world, and follows the adventures of a Square who is banished to Spaceland, a three-dimensional world. Flatland is a fun and thought-provoking way to learn about geometry and higher dimensions

For Intermediate Learners:

·        Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart is a popular calculus textbook that is used by students around the world. Stewart's clear explanations and worked-out examples make calculus easier to understand
