Review: Must Own - Must own for anyone studying math. Such a comprehensive compilation of theory and understanding. If you have a gifted or advanced child with an affinity for math, and can be self-directed with reading for knowledge gain, this book is a no brainer. Could benefit with larger dimensions and larger print.
Review: Not just a book but an intellectual discussion - This book is like discussing with an old friend about mathematics. Whenever I come back to this book, I learn something new and I understand math a little better. This book will teach you advanced concepts and theorems. It does not have the wording of an average textbook. It feels like you are having an intellectual debate. Trivia: Albert Einstein read the first edition of this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect eternal classic! A must study for any educated person.
*by L***4 on March 10, 2024*

I was already kind of old when I learned about this book, but it still influenced every aspect of my life. These kinds of books teach wisdom, not just the subject in the title. It reveals the beauty of Mathematics and the inconceivable nature of this imperfect world that follows its perfect laws.
