I cannot recommend Dover Publications highly enough! They have many good books and a few great ones…

One I recently bought is The Nature and Power of Mathematics by Donald M. Davis.

This book begins in relatively familiar territory, Greek mathematics, and includes an excellent discussion of π.

From there, the book discusses Non-Euclidean geometry, number theory, cryptography, and fractals, doing an excellent job of bridging old and new. The section on cryptography is an excellent introduction to this important topic.

Hello, this is my personal blog, it will mostly be a blog of lists.

WordPress doesn’t have great list management, so you will get recommendations with short comments.  The list will grow, slowly, as will the blogroll.

I contribute to russianelection2008.blogspot.com, it is updated quite often, and will be through March of 2008 and possibly beyond!

Cheers,

Patrick
