In order to better research mathematical books, I read Is God a Mathematician and made a small book review/ analysis. Here is a summary:
◦This book centers around Wigner’s enigma and through various instances of the passive and active effectiveness of mathematics it finally presents the author’s views on the “passive effectiveness of mathematics.”
◦It also shows the radical ways of thinking that have laid the foundations of the present. It shows that no idea is false or true until proven to be either.
◦It also shows the achievements of the three mathematicians the author considered mathematics to be incomplete without, namely Archimedes, Galileo and Descartes. He also gives the achievements in and the contributions to mathematics, of many other mathematicians like Newton, Boole, Leibniz, and so on.
