Poincare and the Three Body Problem
Perhaps, like me, you've wondered about what mathematicians really do. Describing what mathematicians do, and also how they think about what they do, is precisely the subject of William Byers excellent book How Mathematicians Think . In short, this book helped me wrap my mind around what mathematics really is.
I have always had a love/hate relationship with mathematics. Throughout my formal education, I found math to be intimidating, especially in my undergraduate and graduate studies. After reading this book, however, I have a new appreciation for mathematics. Thanks to Byers' unpretentious and clear prose, I think I now understand what mathematics actually is and also what mathematicians actually do.
I regret not reading this book at an earlier age. This book is simply fantastic and after reading it my love for mathematics has grown.
