A successful attempt to describe the breadth of mathematics
By Charles Ashbacher HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 21, 2009
Mathematics is an enormously broad subject and in this book the author attempts to describe to the reader how broad it is. By putting forth short statements about a large number of topics, the great range and practice of mathematics is demonstrated. Depth is not present and that was in no way the intent of the author but there is enough to generate interest in the mind prepared to receive it.
The general sections are

*) Number theory
*) Combinatorics
*) The Fibonacci sequence
*) Game theory
*) Geometry
*) Chessboard coloring
*) Infinity
*) Concepts in calculus
*) Complex numbers

short biographies of great figures in the history of mathematics as well as recent prodigies are also included.
This is a book that young people that have shown an interest in mathematics should be encouraged to explore. At that point in their lives, they have many general interests and if they are destined to enter the mathematical life, they should find something here that will turn their interest into a specific one. Professional mathematicians that enjoy scanning areas outside their focus will also find it useful, especially if they are looking for topics for the classes they teach.

Ravi Rocks! :)
By Barbara Wheatley on June 5, 2008
Excellent, most wonderful book which makes mathematical exploration of the universe a pure joy! ... If you used to know all this stuff and just need a quick refresher ... or if you've never known this stuff and just want a quick intro ... this book is for you ... Illustrations coupled with text are fantastic!

Math Presented in Wonderful Clarity
By Ken Scott on August 25, 2013
I picked up the first edition of this book in 1997 and spent countless hours flipping back and forth over the pages in High School. Ravi's presentation is amazing and his book shows remarkably how math was meant to be taught.
