From biography to magic to authentically world-changing texts, the much-acclaimed author chooses the best guides to 'the Cinderella science' for general readers
As of 2012, he wrote a new book
17 Equations That Changed the World.
He reccomends in this article the following:
The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel
Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter
The Colossal Book of Mathematics by Martin Gardner
Euclid in the Rainforest by Joseph Mazur
Four Colours Suffice by Robin Wilson
What is Mathematics Really? by Reuben Hersh
Magical Mathematics by Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham
Games of Life by Karl Sigmund
Mathenauts: Tales of Mathematical Wonder edited by Rudy Rucker
The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy by Isaac Newton
Clearly, the tenth book is not for a general reader.
