A snapshot of my bookshelf's "math" section, which really hasn't changed much since I was in high school and hadn't taken calculus: W.W. Sawyer, What is Calculus About? and Mathematician's Delight Courant and Robbins, What is Mathematics? Hogben, Mathematics for the Million Steinhaus, Mathematical Snapshots Ivars Peterson, The Mathematical Tourist Davis and Hersh, The Mathematical Experience…
……在讨论社区大学的数学教学。那可不是大学先修数学；运气好的话能讲讲勾股定理和二次方程就不错了。W. W. 索耶的书，比如《数学家的乐园》[1]和《极简数学视角》[2]，似乎完全就是为这群受众写的。[1] https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486462404/ [2] https://www.amazon.com/dp/048642555X/
…talking about teaching community college mathematics. That's not introductory university mathematics; if you are lucky it's Pythagoras' Theorem and quadratic equations. W. W. Sawyer's books, such as Mathematician's Delight[1] and Vision in Elementary Mathematics[2], seem to be exactly for this audience.

Some years ago I took the same approach to start again from ground zero. I found Polya to be good, but a Mathematician's Delight is better and more accessible: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0486462404?ie=UTF8&ta...
…already recommended my favorite for background reading, Concepts of Modern Mathematics by Ian Stewart. http://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Modern-Mathematics-Ian-Stewar... Get that right away. Sawyer's A Mathematician's Delight is surely also good (I've read other books by Sawyer). http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0486462404/ Read those for background as you get my favorite overviews of mathematics: Basic Mathematics by…

我书架上“数学”区域的一张快照，从我高中还没学微积分那会儿起就基本没怎么变过：W.W. 索耶的《微积分是讲什么的？》和《数学家的乐园》；柯朗与罗宾的《什么是数学？》；霍本的《大众数学》；施泰因豪斯的《数学快照》；伊瓦斯·皮特森的《数学游记》；戴维斯与赫什的《数学经验》……

几年前我也用过同样的方法从零开始重新学。我发现波利亚的书挺好的，但《数学家的乐园》更好，也更容易看懂：http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0486462404?ie=UTF8&ta...

……已经推荐了我最喜欢的背景读物，伊恩·斯图尔特的《现代数学概念》http://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Modern-Mathematics-Ian-Stewar... 赶紧去买一本。索耶的《数学家的乐园》肯定也很棒（我读过索耶的其他书）http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0486462404/ 拿这些当背景读物，顺便看看我最喜欢的数学全景书：《基础数学》，作者是……

W. W. 索耶的《数学家的乐园》看起来是本好书。
Mathematician's Delight by W. W. Sawyer seems a good book.
