The Art of the Infinite by Robert Kaplan
This accessible work aims to inspire the general reader with the wonder and beauty of mathematics - our first native language. To savour mathematics is to feel the same exhilaration that great music inspires - the wonder that something invented by humans is also timeless. The text starts from the basics, moving systematically to the frontiers of the topic. The authors draw on science, literature, history, biography and philosophy, clarifying the knowledge that patterns of mathematics are everywhere.

In addition to teaching mathematics at Harvard University, Ellen Kaplan has taught history, Latin and biology. Together they have founded The Math Circle, a school for the enjoyment of pure mathematics
