Bozart posted:Coming back here for more recommendations: this time, anything like A Short History of Nearly Everything - preferably focused on mathematics (and not a Brief History of Time) or anything with a similar tone and breadth in a different subject? After I read A Short History, I picked up the books Pi: A Biography of the World's Most Mysterious Number and Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea. Both of these books are a little more in depth than A Short History (and much more limited in scope) but I enjoyed the history behind both numbers. Be prepared to think too much about math. I believe there is also a similar book on irrational numbers, but I haven't read it yet.
