These are some of the books that I will be using as references in the Math Academy. Most are written assuming a good grasp of high school math at least through calculus. However, there are portions that are quite appropriate for interested elementary school students. Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid Douglas R. Hofstadter A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper John Allen Paulos Innumeracy John Allen Paulos Introductory Graph Theory Gary Chartrand Taxicab Geometry Eugene F. Krause Six Easy Pieces Richard P. Feynman Six Not-so-easy Pieces Richard P. Feynman Fermat's Enigma Simon Singh A Mathematician's Lament Paul Lockhart Prime Obsession John Derbyshire The Calculus Wars Jason Socrates Bardi The Mathematics of Games John D. Beasley To Infinity and Beyond Eli Maor Out of the Blue John Naylor Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Steven H. Strogatz The Fractal Geometry of Nature Benoit Mandelbrot Euler: The Master of Us All William W. Dunham Here's Looking at Euclid William W.
