Used Book in Good Condition
I agree- find some fun math books.
These got me into math big time:
Euclid's Window (http://www.amazon.com/Euclids-Window-Geometry-Parallel-Hyperspace/dp/0684865246)
and
The Book of Numbers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1554073618/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=038797993X&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JCMX2MGQ5ZP3C8482D8)
the last one is the best- sort of like a beginner's math history book. :-) it even includes some basis proofs easy enough for a beginner.
and for the record- I got D's in algerbra in high school. And I HATED math.
I stumbled on Euclid's window and got interested in the historical side of math, and now I'm a mathematics major, with a 4.0. :-)
I plan on being a math history professor one day.
Good luck to you!
