The Numbers behind Numb3rs: Solving Crime with Mathematics By Devlin, and Lorden.

This title is associated with the CBS TV show, and can be bought just about anywhere in a math section at bigger stores, or online.

I read this book recently, and although I have an Associate's degree in math, I thought it was easy to understand, and engaging.

Being a fan of the TV show helps, but it isn't really necessary to understand what the book teaches. For example, I was able to learn what a neural network does based on a chapter of reading. Of course I have no big reason to implement one yet, but I could try since I can program matrices... so it did whet my appetite for learning.

Wow, I just read about the sex in space being so taboo, now they want more women there?

Oh, more women in SCIENCE. Got it.
