Best Mathematics book for complete noobie?
jedi_stannis: I haven't picked it up yet, but I remember reading about "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" on here a while ago.  It looks like a pretty complete guide to all of modern mathematics and sounded like it was easy enough for a beginner to get through while still being able to teach math experts some new things.Thanks for reminding me about it - I think I'm going to order my self a copy!
