Title: Enjoyable for dipping
Review: I really enjoyedJourney through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics, so was looking forward to peeling the cover off this book, however i was a little disappointed to find repeated text from the earlier book. That Ramanujan is missing is surprising (only mentioned in a passing reference to discuss gender imbalance). It would have been nice to have heard a little about this mathematical phenomenon, even if to just discuss the number 1729, if his theorems were deemed to difficult for a general audience. For these 2 points it loses a star.Dunham utilizes his gift for giving clear expositions in an entertaining and engaging manner. Another good read.
