We received three new books today. They are The Joy of Pi, Zero, the Biography of a Dangerous Idea, and The Richest Man in Babylon.
They are all three about math, but approach it from different angles. The Joy of Pi seeks to explain this elusive number. It is "adorable" one expert says. It should be a fun read. Comics and everything.
Zero is a history of the number throughout the ages. Zero has not always been an accepted number, many groups used and banned it for their own purposes. You can read all about it in this 200 page paperback
The Richest Man in Babylon is a collection of parables set in the title city. The author is teaching financial wisdom and savvy through the lives of ancient people. Getting out of debt and putting your money to work for you are some of the themes.
