Group Theory in the Bedroom
A fun, light read passed along from Brent. The mathematics described here aren't very complicated, and mainly it is interesting for its philosophical ponderings over things like how long a programmer should assume his or her code will be used, or the meaning of sameness or measuring the quality of randomness.
If I could make one improvement to the book it would be to add more math to it! I was very intrigued by the articles on gears and mechanical computation and would love to read more about the nitty gritty workings of that.
