How Not to Be Wrong: The Hidden Maths of Everyday Life by Jordan Ellenberg
4.0
More than everything, this book leaves me happy and hopeful that there will always be people out there who believe whole-heartedly in Maths.
I relished most parts of the book and the way it was written definitely has helped in my retaining the "essense" of the book.
The reason I don't want to give it a 5/5 is that I did find it predominantly American, while that may not be a bad thing, it made the parts difficult to relate with and I needed some extra push to keep going.
Overall, well worth a read. Maybe, even a second reading is justified for the motivation this book can give.
