'Bite-size' Reading





There are a lot of 'bite-size' books out now that introduce readers to a range of key mathematical ideas without getting too technical or too deep (but not too simplistic either).

"Mathematics: A Brief Insight" by Timothy Gowers:

and, "50 Mathematical Ideas You Really Need To Know" by Tony Crilly:
