Maths Library


I've decided to start a Maths Library for my pupils in school.

I thought it'd be a nice idea to try and get pupils both a) reading more, and b) seeing mathematics outside of the classroom.

At the moment my collection is pretty limited... and may only appeal to the older years (KS5) but hopefully it may get some traction.

Collection I've got at the moment is a mixture of old textbooks and general reading books. (Not even read them all myself).

The Golden Ratio - Mario Livio
A Mathematician's Apology - G.H. Hardy
The Grand Design - Stephen Hawking & Leonard Mlodinow (more Physics I know)
50 Mathematical Ideas you really need to know - Tony Crilly
FP2 Edexcel Pearson Text book
Newton's Apple - Peter Aughton
Maths in 100 Key Breakthroughs - Richard Elwes (an old lecturer of mine)
Dr. Riemann's Zeros - Karl Sabbagh
Fermat's Enigma - Simon Singh
The Big Questions in Mathematics -  Tony Crilly
The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets - Simon Singh

I seem to have misplaced some of the others...

If anyone has any good recommendations, or even better - willing to donate any to the school that'd be amazing.
