Icons of Mathematics: An Exploration of Twenty Key Images (Dolciani Mathematical Expositions)

I collect math books, I'm an encyclopedist, and I've strived to learn all of math's elegant details. If it's a math fact that a reasonably intelligent person can understand in a minute, I want to know about it. I think it's quite possible to learn all of the nice "low-hanging fruit" of mathematics. There are plenty of difficult areas of math that I'll likely never get to, but I think I've learned all the simple stuff.Icons is a great diagram and fact heavy book. All told, there are about 800 interesting little morsels of math in here, all very approachable by anyone. At least 80 of these morsels were new to me, or I'd forgotten them, so this book ranks way up there for presentation and general usefulness to me.Highly receommended for recrational mathematicians.
