The best book for maths is by far ‘Alex’s Adventures in Numberland (Alex Bellos)’. Clear, concise, really good variety, easy read. It requires quite basic mathematical knowledge, but it gets tricky at some places, I went back a couple of times. That being said, it doesnt make you feel stupid, it makes you feel like a genius when you’ve finished!

“Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea” was more of a history of zero, but very interesting and well written.

You didn’t include “Mathematics; from the birth of numbers” it’s very nice historical book about mathematics

I am 12 and loved fermats last theorem. It was amazing. Thankyou for the list of books. I find that maths books for people of my age are dreary because they are sooooo easy. I am looking forward to reading the recommended books. Thanks again!!!
