• Mathematical Omnibus: Thirty Lectures on Classic Mathematics

  This is an enjoyable book with suggested uses ranging from a text for a undergraduate Honors Mathematics Seminar to a coffee table book. The common thread in the selected subjects is their illustration of the unity and beauty of mathematics.

• Men of Mathematics: Great Mathematicians from Zeno to Poincaré

  This book provides a rich account of major mathematical milestones, from the geometry of the Greeks through Newton's calculus, and on to the laws of probability, symbolic logic, and the fourth dimension.

• Making up Numbers: A History of Invention in Mathematics

  The book explains how conceptual hurdles in the development of numbers and number systems were overcome in the course of history, from Babylon to Classical Greece, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and so to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

• How We Got from There to Here: A Story of Real Analysis

  This book is an introductory real analysis textbook, presented through the lens of history. The definitions and techniques are motivated by the actual difficulties encountered by the intuitive approach and are presented in their historical context.

• What is Mathematics: Godel's Theorem and Around (K. Podnieks)

  This accessible book gives a new, detailed and elementary explanation of the Godel incompleteness theorems and presents the Chaitin results and their relation to the da Costa-Doria results, which are given in full, but with no technicalities.

• Mathematics in the Age of the Turing Machine (Thomas C. Hales)

  Computers have rapidly become so pervasive in mathematics that future generations may look back to this day as a golden dawn. The article gives a survey of mathematical proofs that rely on computer calculations and formal proofs.

• An Infinite Descent into Pure Mathematics (Clive Newstead)

  The goal of this book is to help the reader make the transition from being a consumer of mathematics to a producer of it. Throughout, strategies are provided that help readers to see how mathematical concepts and results can be used in a proof.

• Street-Fighting Math: Guessing & Opportunistic Problem Solving

  This engaging book is an antidote to the rigor mortis brought on by too much mathematical rigor, teaching us how to guess answers without needing a proof or an exact calculation.
