Math for the Frightened: Facing Scary Symbols and… par Colin Pask
Even people who are *not* frightened of math can enjoy and learn from this book's accounts of the rudiments of number theory, algebra, Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, and group theory -- perhaps picking up some points they missed in their high-school math courses. Pask also discusses some applications to science and makes a strong effort to convey the basic nature of mathematics.
