Title: Well written view of mathematics at its most creative
Review: This book presents some of the most important theorems of mathematics, from the ancient Greeks to approximately 1900. It is a well-written sampling intended to be readable by people whose background in mathematics may be relatively limited and in fact it requires a command of the mathematics of only about halfway through high school to understand.The only thing that should be understood is that some of the theorems (such as Heron's formula for the area of a triangle) while requiring no more mathematics than a high school sophomore geometry class, require you to follow a rather long chain of reasoning, which may lose some of the less-mathematical readers. But if you're willing to apply yourself, you can get a lot out of this book.
