Books Included in This Lot (as shown in photo):

• Men of Mathematics: The Lives and Achievements of the Great Mathematicians from Zeno to Poincaré by E.T. Bell — The single most influential and beloved popular mathematics book ever written — the book that has inspired more people to become mathematicians than any other in history. E.T. Bell's vivid, passionate, and opinionated biographical portraits of the greatest mathematicians from ancient Greece through the 19th century — Euclid, Newton, Gauss, Euler, Galois, Riemann, and dozens more — bring the human drama of mathematical discovery to life with extraordinary narrative power and enthusiasm. Required reading for anyone who loves mathematics or wants to understand the extraordinary human stories behind its greatest achievements.

• How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking by Jordan Ellenberg (New York Times Bestseller, One of Bill Gates's "10 Favorite Books") — The brilliant and endlessly entertaining exploration of how mathematical thinking illuminates the hidden structure of everyday life — from politics and lotteries to medicine and sports — by Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician at the University of Wisconsin and one of the most gifted popular mathematics writers of his generation. Praised by Bill Gates as one of his 10 favorite books and a New York Times bestseller, this is popular mathematics writing at its most accessible, witty, and genuinely mind-expanding.

• Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics by William Dunham — A masterful and beautifully written tour through the greatest theorems in the history of mathematics — from Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes and Archimedes's measurement of the circle through Euler's remarkable identity and Cantor's theory of infinite sets — presented with the historical context, biographical drama, and mathematical clarity that make each theorem feel like a genuine intellectual adventure. Widely considered one of the finest popular mathematics books ever written and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what mathematics is really about.

• Everything and More: A Compact History of ∞ by David Foster Wallace — The brilliant, idiosyncratic, and deeply personal exploration of the history and mathematics of infinity by David Foster Wallace — author of Infinite Jest and one of America's most celebrated literary minds — tracing the development of the mathematical concept of infinity from the ancient Greeks through Cantor's revolutionary set theory with characteristic Wallacian wit, energy, and intellectual passion. A unique and unforgettable book that sits at the intersection of literary brilliance and mathematical depth, part of the W.W. Norton Great Discoveries series.
