After reading this book you get a feel for what the mathematical world is really like. Most of the time learning about mathematics only consists of hearing the developments that the past has made, but the psychology of a mathematician is not understood until you try to be a mathematician yourself. Mathematical discoveries don't always come quickly, and most of them are insignificant. Reading this book will give you an idea of what it means to prove things and the meaning of math in our world, with a little exposure to some actual mathematics.
