Based on my personal experiences and interactions, it seems that roughly seventy-eight percent of individuals have encountered a less-than-pleasant experience with mathematics. This has resulted, for many, in a deep-seated distaste for mathematics. I believe this issue needs to be addressed immediately. While it may be unrealistic to expect everyone to fall in love with mathematics, it is indeed critical that efforts be made to help some find joy in it.
It’s human nature to fear or dislike what we don’t know or understand. Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that millions worldwide have an aversion to mathematics. They might not perceive the beautiful intricacies and vast universe of concepts that construct this subject, but this isn’t a cause for despair.
For centuries, dedicated mathematicians have been tirelessly uncovering new mathematical ideas and theories that have the potential to create a more beautiful and logical world. They’ve been, and continue to be, generous in sharing their knowledge and experiences, often through the written word. These contributions have resulted in a treasure trove of mathematical literature that can help decode mathematics’s mysteries, making it understandable but also relatable and enjoyable.
To kickstart your journey towards appreciating mathematics, I’ve curated a list of math books…
