Alex Through the Looking-Glass: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life by Alex Bellos
This is a book aimed at people like me who can't quite get their heads around the alien world of maths and numbers. How can everything just be reduced to an equation? But perhaps reduced is the wrong word, perhaps it should be expanded? Not ideal bed-time reading, you need to concentrate and you might need a pencil and paper, so best taken in stages and gradually you will feel your understanding stretching.
