In this completely user-friendly yet not at all watered down work, Michael Enciso exposes his readers to a world of mathematics that they likely never knew existed. In this world, two plus two is not always four, some infinities are larger than others, and seemingly obvious truths lead to deep logical paradoxes. One finds that math is not about memorization; it is about thought. One finds that math is not about calculation, it is about ideas.
Mathematics is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented of all intellectual endeavors. Many dismiss the subject as a collection of confusing rules to be memorized and applied in settings that seem completely artificial. This perspective, which is the natural byproduct of the standard middle school and high school math curricula, completely obscures the fact that mathematics is a creative, artistic, and most importantly human activity.
The reader is introduced to pure, abstract mathematics not via analogy or metaphor, but rather by direct exposure to the ideas themselves. Additionally, there is no need to know, or even enjoy the mathematics that was learned in school in order to dive into this new mathematical universe. All that is asked for is a certain amount of curiosity, a willingness to let go of all preconceived notions of mathematics, and an openness to the possibility that anyone can indeed appreciate the true beauty of math.
The True Beauty Of Math Volume 1 The Foundations 1 Michael Enciso
This book is mind-blowing! Reading it made me wish I had studied math at much higher levels.I was always pretty good at math, but got bored with the tedium of long calculations. Because I thought math was just about manipulating numbers I went a different way in college (philosophy). Now I wish I had majored in math, cuz it gives you a different vehicle to solve those big universal questions.
I even got my best friend, who thought she hated math, to read the book. She also loves it.
I highly recommended this book!

The True Beauty Of Math Volume 1 The Foundations 1 Michael Enciso Reviews
Overall a good book. Worth the read
The book really is everything the intro promises. I really enjoyed this intro to Math, and really this new understanding. I haven't studied, or really applied any sort of math knowledge in over 5 years but this book really brought all the interest back.
His breakdown of topics like the concept of infinity, the proof of infinite prime numbers, sets, and Cartesian products are not only interesting. But they're inspiring. The book takes away the mystery of some of these fundamental mathematics principles and really encourages critical thinking.
And as the intro promised, the book really did start my trip down this mathematical rabbit hole. Upon finishing this book, I had to buy another math book and keep my interest peaked. I only wish there were more volumes in this True Beauty Of Math series
Absolutely loved this book!
I never felt like I was particularly good at understanding mathematical concepts - at school I was always the more humanities and languages oriented kind of person. And yet this book was a fantastic read! The writing style is so simple, yet informative and simply so well worded that I almost felt like I was reading a novel! Never thought I would say this about a math book, but I really enjoyed the read and in some parts it even made me laugh out loud!
And - even more important than the fun I had reading it - I really felt like the True Beauty of Math opened up a whole new world of math for me that goes way beyond the topics I was taught at school. So much of what this book explains and discusses is really relevant in all of our lives, whether or not we study math!
I definitely recommend this book - certainly to anyone involved in, or interested in becoming involved in, math, but also to anyone who is just looking for an interesting read and some food for thoughts! As this book shows, it is never too late to let go of old prejudices and approach something with an open mind!
I have to mention that this book has taught me that math is not just about calculations and such things. I really do recommend it.
A phenomenal read! It uniquely gives the reader an understanding of the world through the lens of mathematics. Fills an inquisitive mind perfectly with a balance of curiosity met by understanding. Can't wait to read more by the author!
Best read on the foundation of mathematics i have ever came across!
