Don’t be :-O by the title of the post. Read this one!

The Code Book-The science of secrecy from ancient Egypt to quantum cryptography by Simon Singh
Those who want to sizzle their intellect!
Published February 22, 2008 Books , Mathematics Leave a CommentI got a few books, for those philomaths, who wants to see mathematics with a completely different perspective(well, to me , it’s a bit different).

Unknown Quantity: A real and imaginary history of algebra by John Derbyshire
I like this book for it’s awesome story telling. Read it, you will know a lot about the algebra thing.
And for those non-mathematicians, who want to know the grand unified mathematics, read this one

OOh! I love this book. Simon Singh gives a good overview of one of the finest theorems of mathematics.
I have read a lot of books on mathematics, but these two are a bit different. Grab them!

The red river flowing in high speed though the cylindrical locus casting strong pressure on the ground beneath and above it. Blood getting divided when the river breaks up into two.
The massive structure of calcium phosphate, with complexity moving in a periodic motion. The large induced oscillation pendulums helping it’s locomotion. The protiens over it acting like sheath holding the whole structure together. The boy running on naked feet on naked field.
He is trying to get a rose to his girlfriend. Every morning somebody picks up the roses before him. This day, he woke up early, just to get to the rose.
“Treat”, doesn’t this word provokes you to imagine something. Something tasty, delicious, delightful, attractive?
