When reading the literature connected to mathematics, don't forget POETRY. The recent anthology STRANGE ATTRACTORS: POEMS OF LOVE AND MATHEMATICS (http://www.akpeters.com/product.asp?ProdCode=3417,) published in 2008 by A K Peters, Ltd, offers not only a wide variety of poetry with mathematical connections but also offers, in its introduction, a list of prior collections.

Mathematics Reading List For High School Students? 630

Troy writes "I'm a high school math teacher who is trying to assemble an extra-credit reading list. I want to give my students (ages 16-18) the opportunity/motivation to learn about stimulating mathematical ideas that fall outside of the curriculum I'm bound to teach. I already do this somewhat with special lessons given throughout the year, but I would like my students to explore a particular concept in depth. I am looking for books that are well-written, engaging, and accessible to someone who doesn't have a lot of college-level mathematical training. I already have a handful of books on my list, but I want my students to be able to choose from a variety of topics. Many thanks for all suggestions!"
