** spoiler alert ** From the title of the book you will be confused that what is this book about really? But when you will start reading the book, you will understand slowly. This book will not get you interested in math but who are already interested in math and have some kind of background in physics or math, they should read it.
This book talks about 3000 year old journey of mathematics and how it influenced physics and other sciences. The book talks about geometry and how geometry is the key to understand the universe. How Euclid who was the father of geometry started his geometry and his ideas are no longer in use today in modern physics. Today scientist use non Euclidean geometry like hyperbolic geometry, spherical geometry etc to understand the universe. But one thing is pretty clear that Greek civilization started studying patterns in numbers and geometry in order to understand the universe. This book is divided into 5 parts and each part have 6-8 chapters. I like the format of the book. The book starts with the story of Euclid. This book also covers history of math at first and then it tells the story about the discoverer and ends it with a question so that we can find out the answer in the next part. This book tells us to look at the world from the lens of geometry and how geometry is still prevailing like in string theory in order to understand the reality and we don't know how far we can go with the help of geometry.
Read this book of you want to perceive the world from mathematician's or theoretical physicist's perspective.
