by Edward Kasner and James Newman
Buy on AmazonGeorge Gamow's "One, Two, Three . . . Infinity" (1947) and Edward Kasner and James Newman's "Mathematics and the Imagination" (1940) are both still in print. For me, at middle-school age, they turned math and science into an intellectual playground that I never wanted to leave.
