This book finally gives me the information that I would have like to have had
when I learned math in school. It tells me what Pi is all about in a very easily
understandable way. But more fascinating is the multitude of applications and
manifestations of Pi that I never dreamed possible. This book is GREAT, and I
recommend it highly to anyone who still has some interest in appreciating
mathematics. Now, finally, I can really get turned on to math! I now realize
what my math teachers from loong ago meant when they said math was beautify and
exciting.
