Synopsis

This is a mathematics book written specifically for the enjoyment of non-mathematicians and those who hated math in school. The book is organized into two sections: (I) Beauty for the Eye (shallow water for the non-swimmer); and (II) A Feast for the Mind (slowly getting deeper for the more adventurous).
