The content:
A very short book, it has 8 chapters in total ranging from topics of mathematical models, abstraction, proofs, geometry etc to the final chapter which is a FAQ about frequent questions about mathematics.
If you have done mathematics beyond your high school, then probably there is nothing in this book that you don't know. It's more of a book for laymens or school kids who can get some philosophical thinking going about mathematics. But being a short read (hardly an hour or so), e...

This book and other titles in the VSI series by OUP are great guide for beginners. They create an interest in the reader. Coupled with a sizeable bibliography its a good sounding board to carry on further reading.

Mathematics, A Very short introduction, introduces to basic concepts of Mathematics right from Euclid's time to present day developments. It talks of our conception of space, time and dimensions in a very simple manner.

Great read.

it gives a broader and better vision about subject and explain everything easily, as well as deeply.

gives a clear and broader concept about mathematics. it is definitely the best for a fresh start. should go for it!

This book brushes your school mathematics with few additional topics like " Mathematical Model " and " Dimension". Other than that, i don't think a general reader can get something more out of it. A mathematician may found it interesting just like revising school books.

Brilliant introduction
