Math Pleasure

These texts sort of look at math in real-world contexts, helping you to see and appreciate math in all aspects of life. They are funny, insightful, thought-provoking and fun. They don’t set out to teach you math, and they don’t try to. Rather, they help you to think like a mathematician and appreciate the usefulness and beauty of the numeric arts.
