Interesting Overview of the Field of Mathematics

"Essential Atlas of Mathematics" covers a great deal of ground in approximately 100 pages. Divided into topical areas, the book makes heavy use of illustrations and examples to cover broad areas of the field of mathematics. While many of the photographs used in the book appear quite dated, the composition of the book facilitates generally easy reading. Various sections of the book may prove more challenging than others to some readers, but this book really does work well as an atlas...to be consulted as needed. For those readers with an interest in how many of the big areas of mathematics fit together, this is a book worth reading.

Good value for the money.

The colors and graphics in this book alone are worth the purchase price. The only drawback I found was that some of the terminology and methods had a distinctly European flavor, especially in the areas of algebraic equations. But, overall a good addition to any mathematics library.
