“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!!!

Great list, but I have to add a vote for “The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan,” by Robert Kanigel — absorbing, inspiring, illuminating. Plus we must tip our hats to Martin Gardner, but so many titles to choose from!

I've got twelve over at Math Mama Writes, with almost no overlap with these lists. About half of mine are for young kids, though.
