At the bottom of each of my web pages I have included suggestions for books on each subject that I have found useful and entertaining. Here are some that are general to mathematics:

Recommended Readings:

• The Mathematical Experience , by Davis and Hersh
  • This book has it all, and in bite-size chunks. It gives you a sense of what real mathematicians do and how they go about it. It is very readable and enjoyable.
• Mathematics and the Loss of Certainty , by Morris Kline
  • This is a great book about the crises that have occured in the foundations of mathematics, especially in the beginning of the 20th century.
• Archimedes' Revenge , by Paul Hoffman
  • A series of stories that give a sense of how mathematics is used in the real world. Includes encryption, tiling the space shuttle, voting theory, etc. There are a couple of the stories that are real gems.
• Mathematics in the New Golden Age , by Keith Devlin and Journey Through Genius by Will Dunham
  • These are two great writer on mathematics. Here, they each focus on some of the greatest minds in mathematics and their discoveries.
• Pi in the Sky, by John Barrow
  • Despite the silly sounding name, this book blew my mind by the time I got to the end. There is some great history of mathematics here, along with philisophical tendencies and lots of insight.
• Anything by Martin Gardner
  • Martin Gardner has put out too many books to list here, with each chapter covering a separate topic. He talks about fractals, topology, chaos theory, number theory, history of mathematics, recreational mathematics, etc. He writes in a way that makes it fun.

• HW assignments
• Latest Handouts, Worksheets, Problem Sets, Solutions, etc.
• Course Expectations
