I have to start the review with two statements: one, I don’t usually incline towards reading popular science books, two, I am not fond of Mathematics. As a physics student, the concept of mathematics gets more and more complex, so sometimes you get lost in math, and i guess after some years mathematics have been tiresome for me. This book, peaked my interest after being featured in a science writer’s reading list. Somehow, i managed to spot this book despite being placed in the upper shelves of the bookstore. Math Without Numbers is written casually, and has a lot of funny remarks, and I can tell the writer is young by the way he writes it. Beckman, as I later discover is a mathematics enthusiast with online contents regarding math. I thoroughly enjoy how he was able to demystify a lot of “complex-sounding” concepts in math. It gets so interesting as if I was only starting to learn mathematics. It portrays an image of mathematics that I surely enjoy. I would’ve given this a five star but at some point in the middle of the book I think I’m lost in the words Beckman used. I do enjoy the Foundations: A dialogue part, as Beckman also shines a light on how Mathematics as a subject progresses.
