IKE's yes I am a nerd alert:

So 3 books worth looking into are:

1. The History of PI (number not pastry). It is a brief history of PI that is mostly Anglo centric, but does touch on Middleeastern and Eastern PI history. I will warn you it is a bit hard on religion. Mostly because the church forced the accuracy of PI to go from 22/7 to 3 for about 500 years based off of something said in the bible.

2. It must be beautiful. A series of essays on history changing equations. Some notables, E=MC^2, chaos theory, string theory, and the equation that got funding for the search for E.T. Like any compliation of essays, some are better than others.

3. And for last Q.E.D. A series of proofs of different mathematical ideas and principles.
