Title: Disappointing; other books are better
Review: I expected more from K.C. Cole; she's an excellent general science writer for the L.A. Times, but she comes up short in this book. This book is clearly trying to bring an appreciation of math to general readers, but she does no better than to say "Look at that over there; if you understand it, it's really neat" -- but without trying to give you any sense of what's neat.By contrast, I highly recommend "The Language of Mathematics : Making the Invisible Visible" by Keith J. Devlin. Devlin not only points out what is interesting, but provides enough depth to give you a fleeting glimpse of the way mathematicians see math.
