Once a good pot of tea is brewed, it can be left on low heat to steep and be enjoyed all night. That is because as the tea steeps longer and longer, it becomes more and more flavorful, just like a book. Like the steeping pot of tea, while we read, we let our minds work and “boil” on their own. After a time, it becomes more “flavorful,” and your imagination becomes developed.
As Nasreddin Tusi says, “Books can’t revive the dead or make smart an idiot. Instead, they hone the mind, sharpening it and sating the thirst one has for knowledge. In a month, you can learn more from an expert than you would normally learn in a lifetime, taking your debt of knowledge away. Books will save you from living with disgusting people and stop you from making relationships with ignorant ones.”
The benefits mentioned above require that the correct books be chosen, however. Although you can learn from every book, some are more special. That is because such books don’t just extend one’s imagination or teach you the laws of physics and mathematics; they introduce entirely new paths to a person.
Below I have listed seven mathematics books that have had a massive impact on my life during or after I read them. While these books may not have the same effect on you, they will still be beneficial.
