A Concise History Of The United Society Of Believers Called Shakers
Truly marvelous book full of fascinating mathematical facts, stories, puzzles and Pickover's inimitable wit. There are chapters dedicated to subjects such as interesting numbers and number sequences, the concept of infinity, probability, and beauty. The author is particularly fascinated with the connection between religion and mathematics, which is an important recurring theme throughout the book.
Aside from Pickover's tendency to name characters in her puzzles "Bill" and "Monica" (a minor character named "Donald Trumpet" also appears with some regularity), there is hardly anything even slightly negative about the book - I read it during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, and it was a great diversion from the glum reality of the world at the time. I am sure I will be taking it off the shelf and keep working on one of the puzzles for many years to come. Highly recommended to anyone interested in mathematics.
