“Since the Egyptian scribe Ahmes put pen to papyrus some time around 1550BC to explain how to calculate the slope of a pyramid, we’ve had over three millennia of maths literature. So within some level of statistical confidence: here are a subset of the best ever maths books.”
I would 100% add to this list "A Scheme of Heaven" by Alexander Boxer. If you didn't think you were at all interested in Astrology, you will be after reading his book!
