The Mathematical Universe

This interesting book by William Dunham can create anyone's interest in the Science of Maths :-) . Takes you from A-Z touching each important topic historically & stories, mathematicians, mathematics behind events . Their happen more theorems in Maths than events. I learnt that there is minimum 1 prime number between n & 2n. And up to 267 as 'p' (with exception of 67), "(2^p) -1" is always a prime. I'm still reading it - not complete yet. Reading about Jacob Bernoulli & his brother Johann Bernoulli - both equally intelligent & mathematical rivals :-) .

Aha. Nice to read about your books. Currently I am reading "God created the Integers". But it gets too much into nitty-gritty ... you can try that once you get enough fascination on number theory and geometry.
